Description

4,5-Dihydro-4,5-Dihydroxybenzo(J)Fluoranthene is a high-purity polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically a dihydrodiol metabolite of benzo[j]fluoranthene. This compound is of significant value as a critical reference standard and analytical intermediate in environmental and toxicological research. It is primarily needed by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and chemical manufacturers engaged in the study of PAH metabolism, environmental pollutant analysis, and the synthesis of specialized biochemical markers.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the quantification and identification of PAH metabolites in environmental samples (air, water, soil) and biological matrices via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Toxicology & Metabolic Studies: Serves as a key intermediate or biomarker in research investigating the metabolic pathways, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenic mechanisms of benzo[j]fluoranthene.
• Environmental Monitoring: Essential for calibrating equipment and validating methods in labs monitoring industrial emissions, fossil fuel combustion byproducts, and other sources of PAH contamination.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block or precursor for the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives, labeled compounds (e.g., deuterated or C13-labeled), or conjugates for immunoassay development.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Employed by chemical suppliers and contract research organizations (CROs) to develop and validate analytical methods for purity assessment and impurity profiling.
