Chemical Structure

Anisindione CAS 117-37-3 chemical structure

Description

Anisindione (CAS 117-37-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H12O3 and a molecular weight of 252.26 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Anisindione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 252.26 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Anisindione 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.
