Chemical Structure

1,6-Dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 569-10-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 240.21 g/mol gives 1,6-Dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 1,6-Dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 569-10-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H8O4, MW 240.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1,6-Dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione (C14H8O4) 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 its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
