Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 306.36 g/mol gives (2Z,6E)-2,6-bis[(2E)-3-(2-furyl)prop-2-enylidene]cyclohexanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies (2Z,6E)-2,6-bis[(2E)-3-(2-furyl)prop-2-enylidene]cyclohexanone (CAS 25671-98-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H18O3, MW 306.36 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of (2Z,6E)-2,6-bis[(2E)-3-(2-furyl)prop-2-enylidene]cyclohexanone (C20H18O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
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.
CATO manufactures (2Z,6E)-2,6-bis[(2E)-3-(2-furyl)prop-2-enylidene]cyclohexanone under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
