4-(2-Hydroxyphenoxy)benzene-1,2-diol CAS 100953-27-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-(2-Hydroxyphenoxy)benzene-1,2-diol (CAS 100953-27-3), molecular formula C12H10O4 and molecular weight 218.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-(2-Hydroxyphenoxy)benzene-1,2-diol (C12H10O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures 4-(2-Hydroxyphenoxy)benzene-1,2-diol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
