Chemical Structure

5,7-Dinitrobenzofuran-3(2H)-one CAS 98556-67-3 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 5,7-Dinitrobenzofuran-3(2H)-one (C8H4N2O6) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

5,7-Dinitrobenzofuran-3(2H)-one (CAS 98556-67-3), molecular formula C8H4N2O6 and molecular weight 224.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5,7-Dinitrobenzofuran-3(2H)-one meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
