Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 218.21 g/mol gives 4-[5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-furyl]benzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-[5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-furyl]benzoic acid (CAS 53782-69-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H10O4 and a molecular weight of 218.21 g/mol.
4-[5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-furyl]benzoic acid (C12H10O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
