Methyl 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran-2-carboxylate CAS 127724-12-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran-2-carboxylate.

Methyl 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran-2-carboxylate (CAS 127724-12-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10O4 and a molecular weight of 194.18 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran-2-carboxylate (C10H10O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 194.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), Methyl 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran-2-carboxylate 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.
