Chemical Structure

[2,2'-Binaphthalene]-1,1',4,4'-tetraone CAS 3408-13-7 chemical structure

Description

[2,2'-Binaphthalene]-1,1',4,4'-tetraone (CAS 3408-13-7), molecular formula C20H10O4 and molecular weight 314.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

[2,2'-Binaphthalene]-1,1',4,4'-tetraone (C20H10O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
