Chemical Structure

5-ethyl-3-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-carbaldehyde CAS 58455-61-1 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-ethyl-3-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-carbaldehyde.

CATO supplies 5-ethyl-3-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-carbaldehyde (CAS 58455-61-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H20O2, MW 196.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 5-ethyl-3-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-carbaldehyde (C12H20O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 196.29 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
