Chemical Structure

rac 2,4-O-Dimethylzearalenone CAS 7533-25-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of rac 2,4-O-Dimethylzearalenone is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

rac 2,4-O-Dimethylzearalenone (CAS 7533-25-7), molecular formula C20H26O5 and molecular weight 346.42 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, rac 2,4-O-Dimethylzearalenone (C20H26O5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 346.42 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
