Chemical Structure

trans,trans-Farnesol CAS 106-28-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 222.37 g/mol gives trans,trans-Farnesol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

trans,trans-Farnesol (CAS 106-28-5), molecular formula C15H26O and molecular weight 222.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of trans,trans-Farnesol (C15H26O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), trans,trans-Farnesol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
