Chemical Structure

5-Methylfuran-3-carboxylic Acid CAS 21984-93-0 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 5-Methylfuran-3-carboxylic Acid (CAS 21984-93-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6O3, MW 126.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 5-Methylfuran-3-carboxylic Acid (C6H6O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 126.11 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).

CATO manufactures 5-Methylfuran-3-carboxylic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
