Chemical Structure

2-Benzylidene-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylic acid CAS 40462-12-2 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies 2-Benzylidene-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylic acid (CAS 40462-12-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H10O4, MW 278.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Benzylidene-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 278.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
