Chemical Structure

7-Methoxybenzofuran-2(3H)-one CAS 28033-41-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 164.16 g/mol gives 7-Methoxybenzofuran-2(3H)-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

7-Methoxybenzofuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 28033-41-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8O3 and a molecular weight of 164.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 7-Methoxybenzofuran-2(3H)-one (C9H8O3) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
