Chemical Structure

3-Acetyl-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)furan-2(5H)-one CAS 73839-65-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 3-Acetyl-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)furan-2(5H)-one (CAS 73839-65-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H12O5, MW 248.23 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, 3-Acetyl-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)furan-2(5H)-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 248.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
