Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.29 g/mol gives (S)-Linalyl Acetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(S)-Linalyl Acetate (CAS 51685-40-6), molecular formula C12H20O2 and molecular weight 196.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
(S)-Linalyl Acetate (C12H20O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, 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 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.
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.
