Chemical Structure

(2R,3R)-3,4-bis(benzyloxy)butane-1,2-diol CAS 960365-70-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2R,3R)-3,4-bis(benzyloxy)butane-1,2-diol is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(2R,3R)-3,4-bis(benzyloxy)butane-1,2-diol (CAS 960365-70-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H22O4 and a molecular weight of 302.36 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (2R,3R)-3,4-bis(benzyloxy)butane-1,2-diol (C18H22O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
