Chemical Structure

5-[4-(Methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-furaldehyde CAS 68528-29-0 chemical structure

Description

5-[4-(Methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-furaldehyde (CAS 68528-29-0), molecular formula C12H10O4S and molecular weight 250.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 5-[4-(Methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-furaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 250.27 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).

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.

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.
