1-(6-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzofuran-5-yl)ethan-1-one (CAS 484-27-5), molecular formula C11H10O4 and molecular weight 206.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
1-(6-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzofuran-5-yl)ethan-1-one (C11H10O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
