Chemical Structure

6-Methoxy-3-phenylbenzofuran CAS 58468-44-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 224.25 g/mol gives 6-Methoxy-3-phenylbenzofuran distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 6-Methoxy-3-phenylbenzofuran (CAS 58468-44-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H12O2, MW 224.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 6-Methoxy-3-phenylbenzofuran is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 224.25 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 6-Methoxy-3-phenylbenzofuran 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.
