Chemical Structure

5-(((3-Methylbenzyl)thio)methyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid CAS 696647-99-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(((3-Methylbenzyl)thio)methyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 5-(((3-Methylbenzyl)thio)methyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 696647-99-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H14O3S, MW 262.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-(((3-Methylbenzyl)thio)methyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (C14H14O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
