Chemical Structure

Fluorescent brightener 378 CAS 164908-53-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 418.53 g/mol gives Fluorescent brightener 378 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Fluorescent brightener 378 (CAS 164908-53-6), molecular formula C30H26O2 and molecular weight 418.53 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Fluorescent brightener 378 (C30H26O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 18.0, corresponding to approximately 18 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 418.53 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

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.
