3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydrophthalazine-1-carboxylic acid (CAS 36710-94-8), molecular formula C16H12N2O4 and molecular weight 296.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydrophthalazine-1-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 296.28 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydrophthalazine-1-carboxylic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
