The molecular framework of Naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c’]difuran-1,3,6,8-tetraone (C14H4O6) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c’]difuran-1,3,6,8-tetraone (CAS 3711-03-3), molecular formula C14H4O6 and molecular weight 268.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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.
