Description

Rutaretin is a natural coumarin, a dihydrofuranocoumarin of the psoralen series. Ruta graveolens is isolated from the fragrant rue herb; also described in Atalantia racemosa. Systematic name according to the card: [S,(-)]-2,3-dihydro-9-hydroxy-2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one. Synonym for (-)-Racemol. Optically active, levorotatory S-isomer. Product item: standard sample for analytical purposes and substance for pharmacological research.

Basic Attributes

• CAS No.: 13895-92-6
• Chemical formula: C₁₄H₁₄O₅
• Molecular Weight: 262.261
• Exact weight: 262.084
• PSA Specifications: 76

Structure and class

The skeleton is furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one, that is, a linear furanocoumarin. The furan ring at positions 2,3 is hydrogenated, so the substance is classified as a dihydrofuranocoumarin. In the side chain there is a 2-hydroxypropan-2-yl fragment, in the core there is a free hydroxyl group at C-9. A PSA value of 76 and an XLogP3 of 1.6 indicate moderate lipophilicity.

Scope of application

• analytical standard for the control of raw materials and extracts of Ruta graveolens by HPLC and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
• reference substance for studying the coumarin composition of plants of the rutaceae family
• object of pharmacological and biochemical research
• reference standard for phytochemical work on the isolation and identification of coumarins

Storage and handling conditions

The position does not have a separate safety card; transport codes and GHS classification are not assigned. Handle as a research reagent: gloves, safety glasses, work in a fume hood, avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin. Furanocoumarins are prone to photochemical transformations, so the container is kept closed and protected from light, at a low temperature. The material is intended for laboratory use, not for medical or household use.
