Chemical Structure

5-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid CAS 242812-02-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 5-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 242812-02-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H6ClF3O3, MW 290.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 290.62 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.
