Chemical Structure

4-(chloromethyl)-5-methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid CAS 1934583-44-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(chloromethyl)-5-methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(chloromethyl)-5-methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 1934583-44-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7ClO3 and a molecular weight of 174.58 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-(chloromethyl)-5-methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid (C7H7ClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
