Chemical Structure

1,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 71786-00-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 1,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 71786-00-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12O5, MW 284.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (C16H12O5) 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
