Chemical Structure

(R)-Muscone CAS 10403-00-6 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies (R)-Muscone (CAS 10403-00-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H30O, MW 238.41 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, (R)-Muscone (C16H30O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 238.41 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
