Chemical Structure

(R)-3,8-Dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-7-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one CAS 1883551-65-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (R)-3,8-Dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-7-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(R)-3,8-Dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-7-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (CAS 1883551-65-2), molecular formula C12H14O4 and molecular weight 222.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (R)-3,8-Dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-7-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-3,8-Dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-7-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one 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.
