Chemical Structure

3,4-Diphenyl-5H-furan-2-one CAS 5635-16-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,4-Diphenyl-5H-furan-2-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3,4-Diphenyl-5H-furan-2-one (CAS 5635-16-5), molecular formula C16H12O2 and molecular weight 236.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3,4-Diphenyl-5H-furan-2-one (C16H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 236.27 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 3,4-Diphenyl-5H-furan-2-one 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.
