Chemical Structure

6-Hydroxy-4-oxo-4h-chromene-2-carboxylic acid CAS 14718-40-2 chemical structure

Description

6-Hydroxy-4-oxo-4h-chromene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 14718-40-2), molecular formula C10H6O5 and molecular weight 206.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

6-Hydroxy-4-oxo-4h-chromene-2-carboxylic acid (C10H6O5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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).

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.
