Chemical Structure

7-Methoxy-5-benzofuranpropanol CAS 118930-92-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 7-Methoxy-5-benzofuranpropanol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

7-Methoxy-5-benzofuranpropanol (CAS 118930-92-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14O3 and a molecular weight of 206.24 g/mol.

7-Methoxy-5-benzofuranpropanol (C12H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
