Chemical Structure

6-Fluoro-2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione CAS 89226-84-6 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 6-Fluoro-2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione.

6-Fluoro-2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione (CAS 89226-84-6), molecular formula C10H5FO4 and molecular weight 208.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 6-Fluoro-2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione (C10H5FO4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 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 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.

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.
