Chemical Structure

3,8-Dimethylacenaphthenequinone CAS 146885-81-6 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 3,8-Dimethylacenaphthenequinone.

3,8-Dimethylacenaphthenequinone (CAS 146885-81-6), molecular formula C14H10O2 and molecular weight 210.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C14H10O2, 3,8-Dimethylacenaphthenequinone contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 210.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
