Chemical Structure

1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylethanone CAS 36715-43-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 202.21 g/mol gives 1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylethanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylethanone (CAS 36715-43-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H10O3 and a molecular weight of 202.21 g/mol.

1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylethanone (C12H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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 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.
