CATO supplies Methyl (2-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl) succinate (CAS 61222-85-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O6, MW 228.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C10H12O6, Methyl (2-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl) succinate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 228.20 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
