Chemical Structure

2-Methyltetrahydro-3-furanone CAS 3188-00-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 100.12 g/mol gives 2-Methyltetrahydro-3-furanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Methyltetrahydro-3-furanone (CAS 3188-00-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8O2 and a molecular weight of 100.12 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-Methyltetrahydro-3-furanone (C5H8O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 100.12 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.

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.
