1,2,3,6,7,8-Hexahydropyrene (CAS 1732-13-4), molecular formula C16H16 and molecular weight 208.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 1,2,3,6,7,8-Hexahydropyrene (C16H16) is characterized by a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,2,3,6,7,8-Hexahydropyrene 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.
