Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 276.33 g/mol gives Ethyl 4-isobutoxy-3-methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Ethyl 4-isobutoxy-3-methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylate (CAS 1403566-72-2), 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, Ethyl 4-isobutoxy-3-methylbenzofuran-2-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 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 4-isobutoxy-3-methylbenzofuran-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.
