Chemical Structure

5-Benzofuranol CAS 13196-10-6 chemical structure

Description

5-Benzofuranol (CAS 13196-10-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6O2 and a molecular weight of 134.13 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H6O2, 5-Benzofuranol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 134.13 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
