Chemical Structure

6-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-5,7-dimethylisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one CAS 74973-61-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-5,7-dimethylisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-5,7-dimethylisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (CAS 74973-61-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14O3 and a molecular weight of 206.24 g/mol.

6-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-5,7-dimethylisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (C12H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 6-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-5,7-dimethylisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one 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.
