Chemical Structure

Benzo[a]fluoren-11-one CAS 479-79-8 chemical structure

Description

Benzo[a]fluoren-11-one (CAS 479-79-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H10O and a molecular weight of 230.26 g/mol.

Structurally, Benzo[a]fluoren-11-one (C17H10O) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 230.26 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.

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.
