The occurrence of (2Z)-2-[(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)methylidene]-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies (2Z)-2-[(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)methylidene]-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (CAS 337921-76-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C24H20O3, MW 356.41 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of (2Z)-2-[(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)methylidene]-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (C24H20O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 (2Z)-2-[(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)methylidene]-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one 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.
