5-Methoxyfuran-2(3H)-one CAS 387336-49-4

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 114.10 g/mol gives 5-Methoxyfuran-2(3H)-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5-Methoxyfuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 387336-49-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H6O3 and a molecular weight of 114.10 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C5H6O3, 5-Methoxyfuran-2(3H)-one contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 114.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
