Ethyl 5-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate CAS 75796-76-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ethyl 5-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate.

Ethyl 5-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate (CAS 75796-76-8), molecular formula C7H12O4 and molecular weight 160.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C7H12O4, Ethyl 5-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 160.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
