Chemical Structure

3-Benzyl-4-methyl-7-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)-2h-chromen-2-one CAS 951626-37-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

3-Benzyl-4-methyl-7-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)-2h-chromen-2-one (CAS 951626-37-2), molecular formula C20H18O4 and molecular weight 322.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C20H18O4, 3-Benzyl-4-methyl-7-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)-2h-chromen-2-one 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 322.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
