Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-1-benzofuran-2-carbonitrile CAS 57477-68-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 159.14 g/mol gives 3-Hydroxy-1-benzofuran-2-carbonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-Hydroxy-1-benzofuran-2-carbonitrile (CAS 57477-68-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H5NO2, MW 159.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Hydroxy-1-benzofuran-2-carbonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 159.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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 3-Hydroxy-1-benzofuran-2-carbonitrile 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.
