Chemical Structure

2-(Chroman-4-yl)acetic Acid CAS 5655-26-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Chroman-4-yl)acetic Acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Chroman-4-yl)acetic Acid (CAS 5655-26-5), molecular formula C11H12O3 and molecular weight 192.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C11H12O3, 2-(Chroman-4-yl)acetic Acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
