Chemical Structure

2-Phenyl-1,3-indandione CAS 83-12-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Phenyl-1,3-indandione is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Phenyl-1,3-indandione (CAS 83-12-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H10O2, MW 222.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Phenyl-1,3-indandione (C15H10O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Phenyl-1,3-indandione 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.
