Chemical Structure

7-Methoxy-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester CAS 885271-34-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 7-Methoxy-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester.

7-Methoxy-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (CAS 885271-34-1), molecular formula C13H14O4 and molecular weight 234.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 7-Methoxy-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (C13H14O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 234.25 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.

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

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.
