Chemical Structure

2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-ol CAS 825634-84-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-ol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-ol (CAS 825634-84-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H14O3, MW 242.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-ol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-ol 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.
