Chemical Structure

1,6,8-Trihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene-9,10-dione CAS 10088-98-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,6,8-Trihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene-9,10-dione 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.

1,6,8-Trihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 10088-98-9), molecular formula C15H10O6 and molecular weight 286.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1,6,8-Trihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene-9,10-dione (C15H10O6) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 286.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
