Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 5-hydroxy-2-furancarboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 142.11 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).
