Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-5-(methylthio)furan-2-carboxylic acid CAS 1403566-69-7 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.

4-Bromo-5-(methylthio)furan-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 1403566-69-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H5BrO3S and a molecular weight of 237.07 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Bromo-5-(methylthio)furan-2-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 237.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO manufactures 4-Bromo-5-(methylthio)furan-2-carboxylic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
