1-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3-yl)ethanone CAS 318511-77-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 1-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3-yl)ethanone (CAS 318511-77-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8O3, MW 140.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3-yl)ethanone (C7H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3-yl)ethanone 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.
