Chemical Structure

2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)benzofuran-5-carbonitrile CAS 90178-95-3 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 2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)benzofuran-5-carbonitrile.

CATO supplies 2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)benzofuran-5-carbonitrile (CAS 90178-95-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H9NO2, MW 235.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)benzofuran-5-carbonitrile (C15H9NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 235.24 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)benzofuran-5-carbonitrile 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.
