Chemical Structure

Uroporphyrin III octamethyl ester CAS 15435-60-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 942.96 g/mol gives Uroporphyrin III octamethyl ester distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Uroporphyrin III octamethyl ester (CAS 15435-60-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C48H54N4O16, MW 942.96 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Uroporphyrin III octamethyl ester is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 942.96 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).

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

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.
