Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-formylfuran-2-carboxylate CAS 22551-91-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.15 g/mol gives Ethyl 5-formylfuran-2-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 5-formylfuran-2-carboxylate (CAS 22551-91-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8O4 and a molecular weight of 168.15 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 5-formylfuran-2-carboxylate (C8H8O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Ethyl 5-formylfuran-2-carboxylate 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.
