Chemical Structure

2,5-Dihydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione CAS 1760-52-7 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 2,5-Dihydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione.

2,5-Dihydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (CAS 1760-52-7), molecular formula C6H4O4 and molecular weight 140.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2,5-Dihydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (C6H4O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 140.09 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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.
