Chemical Structure

2-Benzyl-1-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 54454-84-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Benzyl-1-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione.

2-Benzyl-1-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 54454-84-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H14O3 and a molecular weight of 314.33 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Benzyl-1-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 314.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 2-Benzyl-1-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-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.
