Chemical Structure

cis/trans-Nepetalactol CAS 109215-55-6 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), cis/trans-Nepetalactol 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.

cis/trans-Nepetalactol (CAS 109215-55-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16O2 and a molecular weight of 168.23 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, cis/trans-Nepetalactol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
