Chemical Structure

3-(Benzofuran-2-yl)benzoic acid CAS 835595-07-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

3-(Benzofuran-2-yl)benzoic acid (CAS 835595-07-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H10O3 and a molecular weight of 238.24 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C15H10O3, 3-(Benzofuran-2-yl)benzoic acid 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 238.24 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
