Chemical Structure

7-(Benzyloxy)-6-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one CAS 895-61-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 7-(Benzyloxy)-6-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 7-(Benzyloxy)-6-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (CAS 895-61-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12O4, MW 268.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 7-(Benzyloxy)-6-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (C16H12O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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), 7-(Benzyloxy)-6-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one 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.
