Chemical Structure

2-((Furan-2-ylmethyl)thio)acetic acid CAS 89639-87-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 172.20 g/mol gives 2-((Furan-2-ylmethyl)thio)acetic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-((Furan-2-ylmethyl)thio)acetic acid (CAS 89639-87-2), molecular formula C7H8O3S and molecular weight 172.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-((Furan-2-ylmethyl)thio)acetic acid (C7H8O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
