Chemical Structure

1-(4-Chloro-3-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-2-yl)ethanone CAS 861357-60-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(4-Chloro-3-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-2-yl)ethanone is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(4-Chloro-3-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-2-yl)ethanone (CAS 861357-60-0), molecular formula C7H7ClO3 and molecular weight 174.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(4-Chloro-3-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-2-yl)ethanone is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 174.58 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.
