Chemical Structure

6-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid CAS 176770-22-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

6-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 176770-22-2), molecular formula C11H8O5 and molecular weight 220.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 6-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid (C11H8O5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 220.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
