Chemical Structure

Benzo[c]phenanthrene[1,4]quinone CAS 109699-80-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Benzo[c]phenanthrene[1,4]quinone is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Benzo[c]phenanthrene[1,4]quinone (CAS 109699-80-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H10O2 and a molecular weight of 258.27 g/mol.

Benzo[c]phenanthrene[1,4]quinone (C18H10O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Benzo[c]phenanthrene[1,4]quinone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
