Chemical Structure

Dibenzofuran 2-Oxoacetic Acid CAS 859745-04-3 chemical structure

Description

Dibenzofuran 2-Oxoacetic Acid (CAS 859745-04-3), molecular formula C14H8O4 and molecular weight 240.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C14H8O4, Dibenzofuran 2-Oxoacetic 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 240.21 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Dibenzofuran 2-Oxoacetic Acid 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.
