Chemical Structure

2-Methoxy-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione CAS 614-13-1 chemical structure

Description

2-Methoxy-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (CAS 614-13-1), molecular formula C8H8O3 and molecular weight 152.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Methoxy-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (C8H8O3) 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methoxy-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
