Description

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.

577-64-0 Asterric acid Benzoic acid, 2-(2-carboxy-3-hydroxy-5-methylphenoxy)-5-hydroxy-3-methoxy-, 1-methyl ester (CAS 577-64-0), molecular formula C17H16O8 and molecular weight 348.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 577-64-0 Asterric acid Benzoic acid, 2-(2-carboxy-3-hydroxy-5-methylphenoxy)-5-hydroxy-3-methoxy-, 1-methyl ester (C17H16O8) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 348.30 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.
