Chemical Structure

7-Methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran CAS 29025-30-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 7-Methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

7-Methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran (CAS 29025-30-7), molecular formula C10H10O2 and molecular weight 162.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

7-Methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran (C10H10O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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-Methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran 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.
