Chemical Structure

3-(Cyclopentyloxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid CAS 1708079-39-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-(Cyclopentyloxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 1708079-39-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H14O4, MW 246.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 3-(Cyclopentyloxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 246.26 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.

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.
