Chemical Structure

3-(Benzyloxymethyl)-3-methyl-tetrahydrofuran CAS 159890-96-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

3-(Benzyloxymethyl)-3-methyl-tetrahydrofuran (CAS 159890-96-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H18O2 and a molecular weight of 206.28 g/mol.

3-(Benzyloxymethyl)-3-methyl-tetrahydrofuran (C13H18O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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