Description

5,6-Dihydro-7-Methylbenz[A]Anthracene-5,6-Diol is a high-purity synthetic organic compound belonging to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivatives. This compound is of significant value as a critical reference standard and advanced intermediate in chemical synthesis and analytical research. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, analytical testing facilities, and academic research institutions for method development, toxicology studies, and the synthesis of more complex molecular structures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the calibration of analytical instruments (HPLC, GC-MS) and as a certified material in method validation for drug impurity profiling and stability studies.
• Metabolite and Toxicology Research: Serves as a key intermediate or standard in studying the metabolic pathways, bioactivation, and carcinogenic potential of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a versatile building block for the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives, dyes, and specialized organic materials in research settings.
• Environmental Analysis: Employed as an analytical standard for the detection and quantification of PAH contaminants in environmental samples (soil, water, air particulates).
• Biochemical Research: Used in studies investigating DNA adduct formation and the mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis.

Quality Control

Our 5,6-Dihydro-7-Methylbenz[A]Anthracene-5,6-Diol is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR). We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specified parameters. Our quality system supports compliance with relevant research and analytical standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
