Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-Cyanobenzofuran-2-carboxylate CAS 84102-76-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

Ethyl 5-Cyanobenzofuran-2-carboxylate (CAS 84102-76-1), molecular formula C12H9NO3 and molecular weight 215.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 5-Cyanobenzofuran-2-carboxylate (C12H9NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 215.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
