5-(3-Methylphenoxymethyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid CAS 438221-37-5

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 232.23 g/mol gives 5-(3-Methylphenoxymethyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 5-(3-Methylphenoxymethyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 438221-37-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H12O4, MW 232.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 5-(3-Methylphenoxymethyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.23 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.
