Chemical Structure

(Z)-Phytol CAS 5492-30-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 296.53 g/mol gives (Z)-Phytol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(Z)-Phytol (CAS 5492-30-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H40O and a molecular weight of 296.53 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C20H40O, (Z)-Phytol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 296.53 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), (Z)-Phytol 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.
