Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-5-phenylfuran CAS 34721-89-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 158.20 g/mol gives 2-Methyl-5-phenylfuran distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-Methyl-5-phenylfuran (CAS 34721-89-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10O, MW 158.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-Methyl-5-phenylfuran (C11H10O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 158.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
