Chemical Structure

(E/Z)-Curcumin CAS 94875-80-6 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C21H20O6, (E/Z)-Curcumin contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 368.38 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

(E/Z)-Curcumin (CAS 94875-80-6), molecular formula C21H20O6 and molecular weight 368.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
