Chemical Structure

9,9-Bis(methoxymethyl)-9H-fluorene CAS 182121-12-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 9,9-Bis(methoxymethyl)-9H-fluorene (CAS 182121-12-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H18O2, MW 254.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 9,9-Bis(methoxymethyl)-9H-fluorene (C17H18O2) contains a steroid 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 254.32 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
