Chemical Structure

2-Nitrofuran-3-carbaldehyde CAS 113388-41-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Nitrofuran-3-carbaldehyde (CAS 113388-41-3), molecular formula C5H3NO4 and molecular weight 141.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, 2-Nitrofuran-3-carbaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 141.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Nitrofuran-3-carbaldehyde 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.
