Chemical Structure

4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl octanoate CAS 20671-66-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl octanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl octanoate (CAS 20671-66-3), molecular formula C18H22O4 and molecular weight 302.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl octanoate (C18H22O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

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.
