Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxybenzofuran-3-carboxylate CAS 691856-86-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxybenzofuran-3-carboxylate (CAS 691856-86-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H13FO4, MW 300.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxybenzofuran-3-carboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 300.28 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.
