Chemical Structure

(2Z,6E)-Farnesol CAS 3790-71-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (2Z,6E)-Farnesol.

(2Z,6E)-Farnesol (CAS 3790-71-4), molecular formula C15H26O and molecular weight 222.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2Z,6E)-Farnesol is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 222.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
