Chemical Structure

Ethyl 6-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate CAS 70160-51-9 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Ethyl 6-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate (C12H10O5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 234.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

CATO supplies Ethyl 6-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate (CAS 70160-51-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10O5, MW 234.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
