Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-1,8-naphthalic anhydride CAS 23204-36-6 chemical structure

Description

3-Hydroxy-1,8-naphthalic anhydride (CAS 23204-36-6), molecular formula C12H6O4 and molecular weight 214.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-Hydroxy-1,8-naphthalic anhydride (C12H6O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 3-Hydroxy-1,8-naphthalic anhydride under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
