Chemical Structure

3,6-Dimethoxyphenanthrene CAS 15638-08-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol gives 3,6-Dimethoxyphenanthrene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3,6-Dimethoxyphenanthrene (CAS 15638-08-1), molecular formula C16H14O2 and molecular weight 238.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C16H14O2, 3,6-Dimethoxyphenanthrene 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 238.28 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 manufactures 3,6-Dimethoxyphenanthrene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
