Chemical Structure

2-(2-chloroethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid CAS 2295889-48-2 chemical structure

Description

2-(2-chloroethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 2295889-48-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7ClO3 and a molecular weight of 174.58 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(2-chloroethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 174.58 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).

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.
