4,6-Dimethylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid CAS 77037-40-2

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4,6-Dimethylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid.

4,6-Dimethylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 77037-40-2), molecular formula C11H10O3 and molecular weight 190.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4,6-Dimethylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (C11H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 190.20 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 4,6-Dimethylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
