Chemical Structure

3-(5-Nitrofuran-2-yl)-2-oxopropanoic acid CAS 858247-59-3 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-(5-Nitrofuran-2-yl)-2-oxopropanoic acid (CAS 858247-59-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H5NO6, MW 199.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3-(5-Nitrofuran-2-yl)-2-oxopropanoic acid (C7H5NO6) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
