Chemical Structure

(5-Methylfuran-3-yl)methanol CAS 20416-19-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (5-Methylfuran-3-yl)methanol.

CATO supplies (5-Methylfuran-3-yl)methanol (CAS 20416-19-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8O2, MW 112.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (5-Methylfuran-3-yl)methanol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 112.13 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (5-Methylfuran-3-yl)methanol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
