Hello again, I manage to contact a supplier and he mentioned that they have a racemic mixture of balanol. And from the CAS number I given them, they say what I needed was a disasteromer.
This is the first time that I came across the racemic term. Dictionary says that is is "relating to a chemical compound that contains equal quantities of dextrorotatory and levorotatory forms and therefore does not rotate the plane of incident polarized light."
In this case, can it still be detected by HPLC-UV? As I said, I need to use this as a standard to detect and quantify balanol in my sample.
