1-Acetyl-5-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 63972-38-3 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 1-Acetyl-5-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione.

1-Acetyl-5-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 63972-38-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H10O4 and a molecular weight of 266.25 g/mol.

Structurally, 1-Acetyl-5-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione (C16H10O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 266.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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 1-Acetyl-5-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.
