Chemical Structure

(2R,3R,4R,5R)-3,4-bis(benzyloxy)-2-((benzyloxy)methyl)-5-methoxytetrahydrofuran CAS 55725-85-4 chemical structure

Description

(2R,3R,4R,5R)-3,4-bis(benzyloxy)-2-((benzyloxy)methyl)-5-methoxytetrahydrofuran (CAS 55725-85-4), molecular formula C27H30O5 and molecular weight 434.52 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2R,3R,4R,5R)-3,4-bis(benzyloxy)-2-((benzyloxy)methyl)-5-methoxytetrahydrofuran is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 434.52 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
