Chemical Structure

2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione CAS 644-17-7 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 2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione.

CATO supplies 2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (CAS 644-17-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6O3, MW 138.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 138.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-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.
