Chemical Structure

4'-O-Methyl-(-)-Epi-Gallocatechin CAS 17291-05-3 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'-O-Methyl-(-)-Epi-Gallocatechin.

CATO supplies 4'-O-Methyl-(-)-Epi-Gallocatechin (CAS 17291-05-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16O7, MW 320.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 4'-O-Methyl-(-)-Epi-Gallocatechin (C16H16O7) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 320.29 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
