Chemical Structure

4-Methyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydroisobenzofuran-1,3-dione CAS 5333-84-6 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 4-Methyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydroisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (C9H10O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

4-Methyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydroisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (CAS 5333-84-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H10O3 and a molecular weight of 166.17 g/mol.
