Chemical Structure

5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylfuran-3-carboxylic acid CAS 4414-49-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylfuran-3-carboxylic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylfuran-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 4414-49-7), molecular formula C12H9ClO3 and molecular weight 236.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylfuran-3-carboxylic acid (C12H9ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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.

CATO manufactures 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylfuran-3-carboxylic acid 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.
