Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 234.29 g/mol gives 3a,4,5,6,7,8,9,9a-Octahydro-5,5-dimethylnaphtho[2,3-c]furan-1,3-dione distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3a,4,5,6,7,8,9,9a-Octahydro-5,5-dimethylnaphtho[2,3-c]furan-1,3-dione (CAS 65094-68-0), molecular formula C14H18O3 and molecular weight 234.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 3a,4,5,6,7,8,9,9a-Octahydro-5,5-dimethylnaphtho[2,3-c]furan-1,3-dione (C14H18O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 3a,4,5,6,7,8,9,9a-Octahydro-5,5-dimethylnaphtho[2,3-c]furan-1,3-dione 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.
