Chemical Structure

2-Ethylfuran CAS 3208-16-0 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 2-Ethylfuran (CAS 3208-16-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8O, MW 96.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Ethylfuran is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 96.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO manufactures 2-Ethylfuran under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
