Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3,4-phenanthrenedione CAS 127791-77-9 chemical structure

Description

2-Methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3,4-phenanthrenedione (CAS 127791-77-9), molecular formula C15H14O2 and molecular weight 226.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3,4-phenanthrenedione (C15H14O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
