The name 1-(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)ethan-1-ol corresponds to CAS 7228-49-1, molecular formula C10H12O2, and molecular weight 164.20. One PubChem compound is returned for the registry number: CID 43753529. PubChem represents the connectivity with SMILES CC(C1=CC2=C(C=C1)OCC2)O and InChIKey WCRSIAJZAWLIAS-UHFFFAOYSA-N. The record contains one connected, neutral component.
The fused ring portion is 2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran, where the five-membered oxygen-containing ring is saturated at positions 2 and 3 and fused to benzene. At position 5, that framework is bonded to the carbon of an ethan-1-ol group. The side chain therefore contains a methyl group and a hydroxyl-bearing carbon attached to the aromatic system. One oxygen belongs to the fused heterocycle and the other to the alcohol. Although that alcohol carbon can be stereogenic, the official SMILES and InChI provide no assigned stereochemical layer for this record.
An identity-focused inquiry to Rlavie should state the complete name, CAS 7228-49-1, and requested quantity, with a MOL or SDF graph attached. The file can be reconciled with PubChem CID 43753529, the published SMILES, and the InChIKey before request-specific information is considered. Showing the attachment at benzofuran position 5 and retaining the 2,3-dihydro descriptor prevents confusion with a benzofuran of different saturation or with another ring locant. The formula C10H12O2 is a composition check, while the structure file remains the clearest positional reference.
