Chemical Structure

(3-Chloro-5-methylfuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanol CAS 356552-69-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (3-Chloro-5-methylfuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(3-Chloro-5-methylfuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanol (CAS 356552-69-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H11ClO2 and a molecular weight of 222.67 g/mol.

Structurally, (3-Chloro-5-methylfuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanol (C12H11ClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 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 222.67 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
