Chemical Structure

5-(1-Hydroxyhexyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one CAS 87877-77-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-(1-Hydroxyhexyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies 5-(1-Hydroxyhexyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 87877-77-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H18O3, MW 186.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-(1-Hydroxyhexyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
