Chemical Structure

1,2-Dimethoxyanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 6003-12-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,2-Dimethoxyanthracene-9,10-dione is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1,2-Dimethoxyanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 6003-12-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H12O4 and a molecular weight of 268.26 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 1,2-Dimethoxyanthracene-9,10-dione (C16H12O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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-Dimethoxyanthracene-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.
