Chemical Structure

N-Hexanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone CAS 106983-28-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 199.25 g/mol gives N-Hexanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

N-Hexanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (CAS 106983-28-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H17NO3 and a molecular weight of 199.25 g/mol.

The molecular framework of N-Hexanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (C10H17NO3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, 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.

CATO manufactures N-Hexanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone 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.
