Chemical Structure

Methyl Dihydroabietate CAS 30968-45-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 318.49 g/mol gives Methyl Dihydroabietate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl Dihydroabietate (CAS 30968-45-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H34O2 and a molecular weight of 318.49 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl Dihydroabietate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 318.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl Dihydroabietate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
