Chemical Structure

4,5-Dimethylfuran-2-carboxylic Acid CAS 89639-83-8 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.

4,5-Dimethylfuran-2-carboxylic Acid (CAS 89639-83-8), molecular formula C7H8O3 and molecular weight 140.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 4,5-Dimethylfuran-2-carboxylic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 140.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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