The occurrence of 3-Benzyl-4-(hydroxy(phenyl)methyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 3-Benzyl-4-(hydroxy(phenyl)methyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 7469-52-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H18O3, MW 282.33 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 3-Benzyl-4-(hydroxy(phenyl)methyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (C18H18O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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 3-Benzyl-4-(hydroxy(phenyl)methyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one 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.
