Description

Chrysene-trans-3,4-Dihydrodiol CAS NO 64920-32-7 is a high-purity polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolite, specifically a dihydrodiol derivative of chrysene. This compound is of significant value as a critical reference standard and biochemical intermediate in advanced research and analytical workflows. It is primarily required by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and chemical manufacturers engaged in environmental toxicology, metabolic studies, and the synthesis of specialized fine chemicals.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the quantification and identification of chrysene metabolites in environmental and biological samples via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate in studying the metabolic activation pathways of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their role in carcinogenesis.
• Toxicology Studies: Employed in in vitro and in vivo assays to investigate the toxicity, mutagenicity, and DNA-adduct formation of PAH dihydrodiols.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a sophisticated building block for the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives, labeled compounds, or diagnostic tools.
• Environmental Monitoring: Essential for calibrating equipment and validating methods in the analysis of PAH contamination in soil, water, and air particulates.
