Chemical Structure

2-Ethyl-2-hydroxy-8-methoxy-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-7(3H)-one CAS 690233-34-2 chemical structure

Description

2-Ethyl-2-hydroxy-8-methoxy-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-7(3H)-one (C12H14O4) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies 2-Ethyl-2-hydroxy-8-methoxy-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-7(3H)-one (CAS 690233-34-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14O4, MW 222.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
