Chemical Structure

2-(4-Methylpentyl)anthracene-9,10-dione CAS 71308-17-3 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 2-(4-Methylpentyl)anthracene-9,10-dione.

CATO supplies 2-(4-Methylpentyl)anthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 71308-17-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H20O2, MW 292.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-(4-Methylpentyl)anthracene-9,10-dione (C20H20O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(4-Methylpentyl)anthracene-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.
