Chemical Structure

Flunisolide CAS 3385-03-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Flunisolide is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Flunisolide (CAS 3385-03-3), molecular formula C24H31FO6 and molecular weight 434.50 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Flunisolide (C24H31FO6) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
