1-(4-Methoxybenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone CAS 59445-59-9 chemical structure

Description

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

1-(4-Methoxybenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone (CAS 59445-59-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H10O3 and a molecular weight of 190.20 g/mol.

1-(4-Methoxybenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone (C11H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

CATO manufactures 1-(4-Methoxybenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone 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.
