2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-6H,7H,8H,9H,10H-cyclohexa[c]chromen-6-one CAS 86557-18-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-6H,7H,8H,9H,10H-cyclohexa[c]chromen-6-one 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.

2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-6H,7H,8H,9H,10H-cyclohexa[c]chromen-6-one (CAS 86557-18-8), molecular formula C16H16O4 and molecular weight 272.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-6H,7H,8H,9H,10H-cyclohexa[c]chromen-6-one (C16H16O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 272.30 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
