Chemical Structure

3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one CAS 7472-96-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (CAS 7472-96-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H12O3, MW 240.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C15H12O3, 3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 240.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
