Chemical Structure

(-)-Fenchone CAS 7787-20-4 chemical structure

Description

(-)-Fenchone (CAS 7787-20-4), molecular formula C10H16O and molecular weight 152.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (-)-Fenchone (C10H16O) is characterized by 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), (-)-Fenchone 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.
