Chemical Structure

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid CAS 3238-40-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (CAS 3238-40-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H4O5 and a molecular weight of 156.09 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (C6H4O5) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
