Chemical Structure

5-chloro-4-formylfuran-2-carboxylic acid CAS 31491-44-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-chloro-4-formylfuran-2-carboxylic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-chloro-4-formylfuran-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 31491-44-8), molecular formula C6H3ClO4 and molecular weight 174.54 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C6H3ClO4, 5-chloro-4-formylfuran-2-carboxylic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 174.54 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
