Chemical Structure

Beta-Caryophyllene CAS 87-44-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Beta-Caryophyllene is closely related to an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Beta-Caryophyllene (CAS 87-44-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H24 and a molecular weight of 204.35 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C15H24, Beta-Caryophyllene contains an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 204.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), Beta-Caryophyllene 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.
