Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-4-carboxylate CAS 166599-85-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-4-carboxylate 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.

Methyl 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-4-carboxylate (CAS 166599-85-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10O4 and a molecular weight of 194.18 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-4-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.18 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), Methyl 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-4-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.
