Chemical Structure

(-)-alpha-Phellandrene CAS 4221-98-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 136.23 g/mol gives (-)-alpha-Phellandrene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(-)-alpha-Phellandrene (CAS 4221-98-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16 and a molecular weight of 136.23 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (-)-alpha-Phellandrene (C10H16) is characterized by an organic framework. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (-)-alpha-Phellandrene 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.
