Chemical Structure

(±)-Norcantharidin CAS 29745-04-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (±)-Norcantharidin is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (±)-Norcantharidin (CAS 29745-04-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8O4, MW 168.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (±)-Norcantharidin is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.15 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 (±)-Norcantharidin 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.
