Chemical Structure

2-Amino-3-hydroxyanthraquinone CAS 117-77-1 chemical structure

Description

2-Amino-3-hydroxyanthraquinone (CAS 117-77-1), molecular formula C14H9NO3 and molecular weight 239.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Amino-3-hydroxyanthraquinone (C14H9NO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
