Chemical Structure

2,3,5,6-Tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione CAS 527-17-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 164.20 g/mol gives 2,3,5,6-Tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,3,5,6-Tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (CAS 527-17-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12O2 and a molecular weight of 164.20 g/mol.

2,3,5,6-Tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (C10H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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.

CATO manufactures 2,3,5,6-Tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-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.
