Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-Oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate CAS 18398-73-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 4-Oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-Oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate (CAS 18398-73-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H8O4, MW 204.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Methyl 4-Oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate (C11H8O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
