Chemical Structure

3-Oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carboxylic acid CAS 4361-00-6 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 3-Oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carboxylic acid (C14H8O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 240.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

3-Oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 4361-00-6), molecular formula C14H8O4 and molecular weight 240.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carboxylic acid 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.
