Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-1-(5-bromobenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one CAS 7039-76-1 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-1-(5-bromobenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one (C10H6Br2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

2-Bromo-1-(5-bromobenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one (CAS 7039-76-1), molecular formula C10H6Br2O2 and molecular weight 317.96 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
