Chemical Structure

(5-(Difluoromethyl)furan-2-yl)methanol CAS 152932-54-2 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

(5-(Difluoromethyl)furan-2-yl)methanol (CAS 152932-54-2), molecular formula C6H6F2O2 and molecular weight 148.11 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, (5-(Difluoromethyl)furan-2-yl)methanol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.11 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), (5-(Difluoromethyl)furan-2-yl)methanol 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.
