Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-3-methylfuran-2(5H)-one CAS 66510-25-6 chemical structure

Description

5-Chloro-3-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (C5H5ClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
