Chemical Structure

5-Hydroxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one CAS 55104-35-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5-Hydroxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one.

CATO supplies 5-Hydroxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (CAS 55104-35-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6O3, MW 150.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-Hydroxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (C8H6O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 5-Hydroxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one 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.
