Chemical Structure

6,2',4'-Trimethoxyflavone CAS 720675-74-1 chemical structure

Description

6,2',4'-Trimethoxyflavone (CAS 720675-74-1), molecular formula C18H16O5 and molecular weight 312.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 6,2',4'-Trimethoxyflavone (C18H16O5) 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6,2',4'-Trimethoxyflavone 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.
