Chemical Structure

1,4-Dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene-9,10-dione CAS 22296-59-9 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 1,4-Dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene-9,10-dione (C15H10O5) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

1,4-Dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 22296-59-9), molecular formula C15H10O5 and molecular weight 270.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
