Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone CAS 83-72-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone (CAS 83-72-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H6O3, MW 174.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone (C10H6O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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 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.

CATO manufactures 2-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone 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.
