Chemical Structure

7-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carboxylic acid CAS 21392-45-0 chemical structure

Description

7-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 21392-45-0), molecular formula C10H6O5 and molecular weight 206.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 7-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 206.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 7-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carboxylic acid 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.
