5,12-Naphthacenequinone CAS 1090-13-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 5,12-Naphthacenequinone 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.

CATO supplies 5,12-Naphthacenequinone (CAS 1090-13-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H10O2, MW 258.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5,12-Naphthacenequinone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
