Chemical Structure

(-)-Epigallocatechin CAS 970-74-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 306.27 g/mol gives (-)-Epigallocatechin distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(-)-Epigallocatechin (CAS 970-74-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H14O7 and a molecular weight of 306.27 g/mol.

Structurally, (-)-Epigallocatechin (C15H14O7) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 306.27 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
