Chemical Structure

5-Hydroxy-2H-furo[2,3-h]chromen-2-one CAS 21339-45-7 chemical structure

Description

5-Hydroxy-2H-furo[2,3-h]chromen-2-one (CAS 21339-45-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H6O4 and a molecular weight of 202.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 5-Hydroxy-2H-furo[2,3-h]chromen-2-one (C11H6O4) 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.

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.
