(2-Methyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol CAS 53839-34-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 162.19 g/mol gives (2-Methyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies (2-Methyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol (CAS 53839-34-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H10O2, MW 162.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(2-Methyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol (C10H10O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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.

CATO manufactures (2-Methyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
