Chemical Structure

(-)-Ascofuranone CAS 38462-04-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (-)-Ascofuranone (CAS 38462-04-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C23H35ClO5, MW 426.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, (-)-Ascofuranone (C23H35ClO5) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 426.97 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures (-)-Ascofuranone 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.
