Chemical Structure

2-Ethyl-4-methylbenzofuran CAS 861530-39-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol gives 2-Ethyl-4-methylbenzofuran distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-Ethyl-4-methylbenzofuran (CAS 861530-39-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H12O, MW 160.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Ethyl-4-methylbenzofuran (C11H12O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Ethyl-4-methylbenzofuran 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.
