Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 234.25 g/mol gives 2-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-benzofuran-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-benzofuran-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (CAS 69703-21-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H14O4 and a molecular weight of 234.25 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-benzofuran-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (C13H14O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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), 2-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-benzofuran-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester 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.
