Chemical Structure

2-(Phenanthren-3-yl)acetic acid CAS 84306-76-3 chemical structure

Description

2-(Phenanthren-3-yl)acetic acid (C16H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

2-(Phenanthren-3-yl)acetic acid (CAS 84306-76-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H12O2 and a molecular weight of 236.27 g/mol.

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.

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.
