Chemical Structure

Methyl (R)-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate CAS 19684-04-9 chemical structure

Description

Methyl (R)-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate (C6H8O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

Methyl (R)-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate (CAS 19684-04-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H8O4 and a molecular weight of 144.13 g/mol.
