Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(isopentyloxy)-2-methylbenzofuran-6-carboxylate CAS 1291489-78-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methyl 4-(isopentyloxy)-2-methylbenzofuran-6-carboxylate 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.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-(isopentyloxy)-2-methylbenzofuran-6-carboxylate (CAS 1291489-78-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H20O4, MW 276.33 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 4-(isopentyloxy)-2-methylbenzofuran-6-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 276.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
