Chemical Structure

8-Hydroxy-1-methoxy-3-methylanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 67116-22-7 chemical structure

Description

8-Hydroxy-1-methoxy-3-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 67116-22-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H12O4 and a molecular weight of 268.26 g/mol.

Structurally, 8-Hydroxy-1-methoxy-3-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (C16H12O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 268.26 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 8-Hydroxy-1-methoxy-3-methylanthracene-9,10-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.
