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.
2-(5-Hydroxy-4,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-2h-chromen-3-yl)acetic acid (CAS 873414-53-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H12O5 and a molecular weight of 248.23 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(5-Hydroxy-4,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-2h-chromen-3-yl)acetic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 248.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
