Chemical Structure

2-(tert-Butyl)-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione CAS 24456-96-0 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-(tert-Butyl)-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione.

CATO supplies 2-(tert-Butyl)-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (CAS 24456-96-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O2, MW 178.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(tert-Butyl)-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.23 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(tert-Butyl)-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione 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.
