Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran CAS 5371-52-8 chemical structure

Description

2-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran (CAS 5371-52-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H8O2 and a molecular weight of 88.11 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 88.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
