Chemical Structure

3,5,6-Trimethylbenzofuran CAS 27408-23-7 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 3,5,6-Trimethylbenzofuran.

3,5,6-Trimethylbenzofuran (CAS 27408-23-7), molecular formula C11H12O and molecular weight 160.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3,5,6-Trimethylbenzofuran is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures 3,5,6-Trimethylbenzofuran 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.
