Chemical Structure

Rel-(3R,4S)-3,4-dimethyldihydrofuran-2,5-dione CAS 16844-07-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 128.13 g/mol gives Rel-(3R,4S)-3,4-dimethyldihydrofuran-2,5-dione distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Rel-(3R,4S)-3,4-dimethyldihydrofuran-2,5-dione (CAS 16844-07-8), molecular formula C6H8O3 and molecular weight 128.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Rel-(3R,4S)-3,4-dimethyldihydrofuran-2,5-dione (C6H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 128.13 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
