Chemical Structure

Methyl-5,8-monoepoxyretinoate CAS 50876-25-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl-5,8-monoepoxyretinoate (CAS 50876-25-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H30O3, MW 330.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Methyl-5,8-monoepoxyretinoate (C21H30O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
