Chemical Structure

6-Methoxy-2-(4-styrylphenyl)benzofuran CAS 51358-02-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

6-Methoxy-2-(4-styrylphenyl)benzofuran (CAS 51358-02-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C23H18O2 and a molecular weight of 326.39 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 6-Methoxy-2-(4-styrylphenyl)benzofuran (C23H18O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
