CATO supplies (3aR,7S,8aR)-7-Methyl-3-methylene-6-(3-oxobutyl)-3,3a,4,7,8,8a-hexahydro-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-one (CAS 33649-15-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H20O3, MW 248.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C15H20O3, (3aR,7S,8aR)-7-Methyl-3-methylene-6-(3-oxobutyl)-3,3a,4,7,8,8a-hexahydro-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-one contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 248.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (3aR,7S,8aR)-7-Methyl-3-methylene-6-(3-oxobutyl)-3,3a,4,7,8,8a-hexahydro-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-one 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.
