Chemical Structure

3-(2-Iodoethyl)-5-methoxybenzofuran CAS 796851-93-9 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

3-(2-Iodoethyl)-5-methoxybenzofuran (CAS 796851-93-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H11IO2 and a molecular weight of 302.11 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(2-Iodoethyl)-5-methoxybenzofuran is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 302.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures 3-(2-Iodoethyl)-5-methoxybenzofuran under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
