Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 136.11 g/mol gives Benzofuroxan distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Benzofuroxan (CAS 480-96-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H4N2O2 and a molecular weight of 136.11 g/mol.
Benzofuroxan (C6H4N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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), Benzofuroxan 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.
