Chemical Structure

2-(6-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2h-chromen-4-yl)acetic acid CAS 68747-26-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(6-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2h-chromen-4-yl)acetic acid.

2-(6-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2h-chromen-4-yl)acetic acid (CAS 68747-26-2), molecular formula C11H8O5 and molecular weight 220.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(6-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2h-chromen-4-yl)acetic acid (C11H8O5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

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.
