Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 295.33 g/mol gives Fmoc-D-Ala-aldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Fmoc-D-Ala-aldehyde (CAS 127043-32-7), molecular formula C18H17NO3 and molecular weight 295.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Fmoc-D-Ala-aldehyde (C18H17NO3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 295.33 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.
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.
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.
