Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5,7-Dihydroxy-2',2'-dimethyl-2'H,4H-[3,6'-bichromen]-4-one.
5,7-Dihydroxy-2',2'-dimethyl-2'H,4H-[3,6'-bichromen]-4-one (CAS 121747-89-5), molecular formula C20H16O5 and molecular weight 336.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5,7-Dihydroxy-2',2'-dimethyl-2'H,4H-[3,6'-bichromen]-4-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 336.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
