Chemical Structure

4-fluorofuran-2-carboxylic acid CAS 1211581-60-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-fluorofuran-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 1211581-60-0), molecular formula C5H3FO3 and molecular weight 130.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 4-fluorofuran-2-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 130.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
