Chemical Structure

3-[(methylsulfanyl)methyl]furan-2-carboxylic acid CAS 1179048-20-4 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 3-[(methylsulfanyl)methyl]furan-2-carboxylic acid (C7H8O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 172.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
