Chemical Structure

4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Glucopyranoside CAS 18997-57-4 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Glucopyranoside (C16H18O8) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 338.31 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Glucopyranoside (CAS 18997-57-4), molecular formula C16H18O8 and molecular weight 338.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
