N,N'-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1,4-diyl)dibenzamide (CAS 2987-68-0), molecular formula C28H18N2O4 and molecular weight 446.45 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of N,N'-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1,4-diyl)dibenzamide (C28H18N2O4) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
