Chemical Structure

2-(Trifluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid CAS 536718-30-6 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C6H3F3O3, 2-(Trifluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 180.08 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

2-(Trifluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 536718-30-6), molecular formula C6H3F3O3 and molecular weight 180.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
