Chemical Structure

(S)-3,8-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrophenanthro[4,3-b]furan-4,5-dione CAS 260397-58-8 chemical structure

Description

(S)-3,8-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrophenanthro[4,3-b]furan-4,5-dione (CAS 260397-58-8), molecular formula C18H14O3 and molecular weight 278.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(S)-3,8-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrophenanthro[4,3-b]furan-4,5-dione (C18H14O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures (S)-3,8-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrophenanthro[4,3-b]furan-4,5-dione 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.
