Chemical Structure

1,2-Bis(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)ethane-1,2-dione CAS 4720-66-5 chemical structure

Description

1,2-Bis(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)ethane-1,2-dione (CAS 4720-66-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H10O6 and a molecular weight of 298.25 g/mol.

1,2-Bis(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)ethane-1,2-dione (C16H10O6) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures 1,2-Bis(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)ethane-1,2-dione under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
