Chemical Structure

Hexamidine diisethionate CAS 659-40-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Hexamidine diisethionate is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Hexamidine diisethionate (CAS 659-40-5), molecular formula C20H26N4O2C2H6O4S and molecular weight 480.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Hexamidine diisethionate (C20H26N4O2C2H6O4S) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hexamidine diisethionate 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.
