Chemical Structure

4-(6-Hydroxybenzofuran-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol CAS 67736-22-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(6-Hydroxybenzofuran-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-(6-Hydroxybenzofuran-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol (CAS 67736-22-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H10O4, MW 242.23 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, 4-(6-Hydroxybenzofuran-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(6-Hydroxybenzofuran-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol 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.
