Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-((3-formylphenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carboxylate CAS 438220-03-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 5-((3-formylphenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carboxylate (CAS 438220-03-2), molecular formula C14H12O5 and molecular weight 260.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 5-((3-formylphenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carboxylate (C14H12O5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 260.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
