Chemical Structure

myo-Inositol CAS 87-89-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of myo-Inositol is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

myo-Inositol (CAS 87-89-8), molecular formula C6H12O6 and molecular weight 180.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C6H12O6, myo-Inositol contains a carbohydrate-derived structure; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.

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.
