Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO supplies Methyl 5-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylate (CAS 67498-41-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H12O4, MW 232.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 5-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 5-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylate 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.
