The occurrence of 5-Methylbenzofuran-7-carboxylic acid 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.
5-Methylbenzofuran-7-carboxylic acid (CAS 35700-49-3), molecular formula C10H8O3 and molecular weight 176.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 5-Methylbenzofuran-7-carboxylic acid (C10H8O3) 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.
