Chemical Structure

4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one CAS 22621-29-0 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 4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one.

CATO supplies 4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one (CAS 22621-29-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8O3, MW 128.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one (C6H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 128.13 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).

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
