Description
2-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methylfuran is a furan-based biochemical building block with CAS number 20416-16-4 and empirical formula C₆H₈O₂. Its molar mass is 112,13 g/mol, supporting precise stoichiometric work in organic synthesis and structure–activity studies. Laboratories working on heterocyclic chemistry, natural-product analogues, or small-molecule libraries can use this compound as a compact oxygen-heterocycle intermediate. The product is offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH for research and development workflows that demand clear identity data and manageable research-scale quantities. Handling should follow standard laboratory practice for organic fine chemicals, with attention to the associated transport classification where applicable. This grade supports method development, screening, and specialised synthetic routes without unnecessary bulk inventory.

Questions about 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methylfuran, 100 mg
What is this article?
2-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methylfuran, 100 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Fluorescent dyes & labels, inside Dyes, stains & indicators, in Lab chemicals.
A fluorescent dye absorbs at one wavelength and emits at a longer one. As a label it is attached to a protein, a nucleic acid or a cell. Excitation and emission maxima, and the reactive group if it must conjugate, are the specification. The colour name does not tell you the wavelengths.
A dye or a stain binds, or changes colour, so that something invisible becomes visible. An indicator changes at a pH or a redox point. A fluorescent dye absorbs one wavelength and emits another, which is how a microscope or a plate reader picks it out. The excitation and emission, or the transition interval, are the specification. The colour name on the label is not. Structures are on PubChem under IUPAC names. Methods are in the PubMed literature.
