Chemical Structure

1-Chloro-2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 129-35-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 1-Chloro-2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 129-35-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H9ClO2, MW 256.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1-Chloro-2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (C15H9ClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Chloro-2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione 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.
