Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-((4-(tert-butyl)phenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carboxylate CAS 406470-78-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 5-((4-(tert-butyl)phenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carboxylate is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 5-((4-(tert-butyl)phenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carboxylate (CAS 406470-78-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H20O4, MW 288.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 5-((4-(tert-butyl)phenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 288.34 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 5-((4-(tert-butyl)phenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carboxylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
