Chemical Structure

Diphenolic Acid CAS 126-00-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Diphenolic Acid.

Diphenolic Acid (CAS 126-00-1), molecular formula C17H18O4 and molecular weight 286.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Diphenolic Acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 286.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diphenolic Acid 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.
