Chemical Structure

2,3,5,8-Tetrahydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione CAS 476-54-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

2,3,5,8-Tetrahydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione (CAS 476-54-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H6O6 and a molecular weight of 222.15 g/mol.

2,3,5,8-Tetrahydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione (C10H6O6) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.
