Chemical Structure

Furan-2-sulfonic acid CAS 82971-11-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Furan-2-sulfonic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Furan-2-sulfonic acid (CAS 82971-11-7), molecular formula C4H4O4S and molecular weight 148.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group, Furan-2-sulfonic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.14 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.

CATO manufactures Furan-2-sulfonic acid 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.
