Chemical Structure

2-Ethyl-5-phenylfuran CAS 57044-49-2 chemical structure

Description

2-Ethyl-5-phenylfuran (CAS 57044-49-2), molecular formula C12H12O and molecular weight 172.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Ethyl-5-phenylfuran (C12H12O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 2-Ethyl-5-phenylfuran 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.
