Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol gives 3-Hydroxy-7-methoxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-Hydroxy-7-methoxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (CAS 73713-38-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8O4 and a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-Hydroxy-7-methoxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
