Chemical Structure

5-Hexylfuran-2(5H)-one CAS 2518-53-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 5-Hexylfuran-2(5H)-one (CAS 2518-53-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H16O2, MW 168.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 5-Hexylfuran-2(5H)-one (C10H16O2) 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 168.23 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures 5-Hexylfuran-2(5H)-one 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.
