Chemical Structure

2-[(4-Butyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy]propanoic acid CAS 428503-46-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[(4-Butyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy]propanoic acid is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-[(4-Butyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy]propanoic acid (CAS 428503-46-2), molecular formula C16H18O5 and molecular weight 290.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-[(4-Butyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy]propanoic acid (C16H18O5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).

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.
