Chemical Structure

Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Phe) CAS 7280-77-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Phe) (CAS 7280-77-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H20N2O2, MW 260.33 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Phe) is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 260.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
