Chemical Structure

4’-Hydroxy rac-Kavain CAS 1401441-87-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4’-Hydroxy rac-Kavain.

4’-Hydroxy rac-Kavain (CAS 1401441-87-9), molecular formula C14H14O4 and molecular weight 246.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4’-Hydroxy rac-Kavain (C14H14O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4’-Hydroxy rac-Kavain 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.
