Chemical Structure
Description
Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone (CAS 3067-13-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H10O2 and a molecular weight of 282.29 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 282.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
