Chemical Structure

(R)-2-(4-Fluoro-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)acetic acid CAS 154540-22-4 chemical structure

Description

(R)-2-(4-Fluoro-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)acetic acid (CAS 154540-22-4), molecular formula C6H5FO4 and molecular weight 160.10 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, an aromatic ring system, (R)-2-(4-Fluoro-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 160.10 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.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-2-(4-Fluoro-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)acetic acid 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.
