Methyl 4-((1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)benzoate CAS 455321-49-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 4-((1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)benzoate 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.

Methyl 4-((1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)benzoate (CAS 455321-49-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H12O4 and a molecular weight of 292.29 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl 4-((1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)benzoate (C18H12O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 292.29 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), Methyl 4-((1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)benzoate 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.
