Chemical Structure

Pholcodine monohydrate CAS 6254-99-5 chemical structure

Description

Pholcodine monohydrate (CAS 6254-99-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C23H30N2O4H2O and a molecular weight of 416.52 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C23H30N2O4H2O, Pholcodine monohydrate contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 416.52 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures Pholcodine monohydrate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
