Chemical Structure

1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one CAS 959652-80-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one (CAS 959652-80-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H10O2 and a molecular weight of 186.21 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one (C12H10O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
