Chemical Structure

Plastoquinone CAS 4299-57-4 chemical structure

Description

Plastoquinone (CAS 4299-57-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C53H80O2 and a molecular weight of 749.20 g/mol.

Structurally, Plastoquinone (C53H80O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.0, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 749.20 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Plastoquinone 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.
