Chemical Structure

Furan-2-yl(5-methylfuran-2-yl)methanol CAS 356552-27-7 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 Furan-2-yl(5-methylfuran-2-yl)methanol.

CATO supplies Furan-2-yl(5-methylfuran-2-yl)methanol (CAS 356552-27-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H10O3, MW 178.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Furan-2-yl(5-methylfuran-2-yl)methanol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Furan-2-yl(5-methylfuran-2-yl)methanol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
