Chemical Structure

5-(3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid CAS 353761-03-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5-(3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid.

CATO supplies 5-(3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 353761-03-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H9ClO3, MW 236.65 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-(3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (C12H9ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
