Methyl 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylate CAS 85636-86-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylate.

Methyl 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylate (CAS 85636-86-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H10O4 and a molecular weight of 254.24 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylate (C15H10O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 254.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
