Chemical Structure

7-Ethylbenzofuran CAS 59020-73-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 7-Ethylbenzofuran is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

7-Ethylbenzofuran (CAS 59020-73-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10O and a molecular weight of 146.19 g/mol.

Structurally, 7-Ethylbenzofuran (C10H10O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 146.19 g/mol, it falls into the low-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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 7-Ethylbenzofuran meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
