Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-Furancarboxylate CAS 611-13-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 2-Furancarboxylate.

Methyl 2-Furancarboxylate (CAS 611-13-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6O3 and a molecular weight of 126.11 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-Furancarboxylate (C6H6O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Methyl 2-Furancarboxylate 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.
