4-Oxo-9-Cis Retinoic Acid CAS 150737-18-1 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 4-Oxo-9-Cis Retinoic Acid (CAS 150737-18-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H26O3, MW 314.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-Oxo-9-Cis Retinoic Acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 314.42 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).

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.
