Chemical Structure

beta-Farnesene CAS 28973-97-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of beta-Farnesene is closely related to an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

beta-Farnesene (CAS 28973-97-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H24 and a molecular weight of 204.35 g/mol.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, beta-Farnesene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 204.35 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures beta-Farnesene 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.
