Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 328.36 g/mol gives Butyl 9-(dicyanomethylene)-9H-fluorene-4-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Butyl 9-(dicyanomethylene)-9H-fluorene-4-carboxylate (CAS 93376-18-2), molecular formula C21H16N2O2 and molecular weight 328.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Butyl 9-(dicyanomethylene)-9H-fluorene-4-carboxylate (C21H16N2O2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
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.
