Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-yl)acetate CAS 174633-69-3 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-yl)acetate (C11H10O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Methyl 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-yl)acetate (CAS 174633-69-3), molecular formula C11H10O4 and molecular weight 206.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-yl)acetate 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.
