((2R,3S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methyl benzoate CAS 2861908-76-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 236.26 g/mol gives ((2R,3S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methyl benzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

((2R,3S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methyl benzoate (CAS 2861908-76-9), molecular formula C13H16O4 and molecular weight 236.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

((2R,3S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methyl benzoate (C13H16O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), ((2R,3S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methyl benzoate 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.
