Chemical Structure

(E)-4-(2-Furyl)-3-buten-2-one CAS 41438-24-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (E)-4-(2-Furyl)-3-buten-2-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(E)-4-(2-Furyl)-3-buten-2-one (CAS 41438-24-8), molecular formula C8H8O2 and molecular weight 136.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(E)-4-(2-Furyl)-3-buten-2-one (C8H8O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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.
