Chemical Structure

(R)-Eflornithine CAS 103957-16-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, (R)-Eflornithine is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 182.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

CATO supplies (R)-Eflornithine (CAS 103957-16-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12F2N2O2, MW 182.17 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.

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.
