Chemical Structure

2,3,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde CAS 64168-39-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 154.12 g/mol gives 2,3,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,3,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde (CAS 64168-39-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H6O4 and a molecular weight of 154.12 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2,3,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde (C7H6O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,3,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde 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.
