Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-Methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-acetate CAS 93772-88-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Methyl 6-Methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-acetate (C12H14O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Methyl 6-Methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-acetate (CAS 93772-88-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14O4 and a molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol.

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.

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.
