Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-methylfuran-3-carboxylate CAS 154222-96-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 4-methylfuran-3-carboxylate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 4-methylfuran-3-carboxylate (CAS 154222-96-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H10O3 and a molecular weight of 154.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 4-methylfuran-3-carboxylate (C8H10O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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