Chemical Structure

7-Methoxy-3-(4’-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin CAS 5217-88-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 296.32 g/mol gives 7-Methoxy-3-(4’-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 7-Methoxy-3-(4’-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin (CAS 5217-88-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H16O4, MW 296.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 7-Methoxy-3-(4’-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 296.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
