CATO supplies 3-(4-Methoxybenzylidene)-5-phenylfuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 13294-96-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H17N3O, MW 279.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(4-Methoxybenzylidene)-5-phenylfuran-2(3H)-one is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 279.34 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.
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.
