Chemical Structure

2-(Ethoxymethyl)-1,3-dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 17526-17-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Ethoxymethyl)-1,3-dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Ethoxymethyl)-1,3-dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 17526-17-9), molecular formula C17H14O5 and molecular weight 298.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(Ethoxymethyl)-1,3-dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 298.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
