Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate CAS 77513-58-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate (CAS 77513-58-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H10O4, MW 158.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.15 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
