3-Hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one CAS 6068-76-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 254.24 g/mol gives 3-Hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-Hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (CAS 6068-76-4), molecular formula C15H10O4 and molecular weight 254.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 254.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
