Chemical Structure

N-(3-Fluoranthyl)maleimide CAS 60354-76-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 297.31 g/mol gives N-(3-Fluoranthyl)maleimide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies N-(3-Fluoranthyl)maleimide (CAS 60354-76-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H11NO2, MW 297.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, N-(3-Fluoranthyl)maleimide (C20H11NO2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 16.0, corresponding to approximately 16 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 297.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
