Chemical Structure

1,8-Bis(methylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione CAS 861527-45-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

1,8-Bis(methylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 861527-45-9), molecular formula C16H12O2S2 and molecular weight 300.40 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1,8-Bis(methylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione (C16H12O2S2) contains a sulfone group, 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 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.
