Product Information

Caffeine – CAS 58-08-2

Caffeine is listed in the Zevrionyx catalog. The following information describes its reference chemical identity.

Caffeine is 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound found naturally in several plant species. Its structure consists of a fused purine-derived ring system with two carbonyl groups and three N-methyl substituents. It differs from theophylline and theobromine in its methyl substitution pattern. The formula and molecular weight below refer to the anhydrous parent compound, not to a hydrate or formulated mixture. These reference identifiers do not establish the water content or composition of a particular batch.

Product-specific grade, purity and packaging are subject to supplier documentation and confirmation of available specifications.
