Chemical Structure

2-(4-EThylbenzylidene)-6-hydroxybenzofuran-3(2h)-one CAS 620545-94-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(4-EThylbenzylidene)-6-hydroxybenzofuran-3(2h)-one is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(4-EThylbenzylidene)-6-hydroxybenzofuran-3(2h)-one (CAS 620545-94-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H14O3 and a molecular weight of 266.29 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(4-EThylbenzylidene)-6-hydroxybenzofuran-3(2h)-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.29 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).
