Chemical Structure

(3AS,4R,5R,5aS,8aS,8bS)-2,2,7,7-tetramethylhexahydrobenzo[1,2-d:3,4-d']bis([1,3]dioxole)-4,5-diol CAS 65556-81-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (3AS,4R,5R,5aS,8aS,8bS)-2,2,7,7-tetramethylhexahydrobenzo[1,2-d:3,4-d']bis([1,3]dioxole)-4,5-diol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (3AS,4R,5R,5aS,8aS,8bS)-2,2,7,7-tetramethylhexahydrobenzo[1,2-d:3,4-d']bis([1,3]dioxole)-4,5-diol (CAS 65556-81-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H20O6, MW 260.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (3AS,4R,5R,5aS,8aS,8bS)-2,2,7,7-tetramethylhexahydrobenzo[1,2-d:3,4-d']bis([1,3]dioxole)-4,5-diol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 260.28 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).

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.
