Chemical Structure

3-Acetyl-5-methylfuran-2(3H)-one CAS 307503-83-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Acetyl-5-methylfuran-2(3H)-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-Acetyl-5-methylfuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 307503-83-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8O3, MW 140.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-Acetyl-5-methylfuran-2(3H)-one (C7H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 140.14 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
