Chemical Structure

5,7-Dihydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one CAS 68436-47-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5,7-Dihydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 5,7-Dihydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (CAS 68436-47-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H18O5, MW 338.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 5,7-Dihydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (C20H18O5) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
