Chemical Structure

2-Butyl-5-methylfuran CAS 3857-27-0 chemical structure

Description

2-Butyl-5-methylfuran (CAS 3857-27-0), molecular formula C9H14O and molecular weight 138.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Butyl-5-methylfuran is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 138.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
