Chemical Description:
Chemical Name: 1-Hydroxypyrene
CAS Number: 5315-79-7
IUPAC Name: Pyren-1-ol
Molecular Formula: C₁₆H₁₀O
Molecular Weight: 218.25 g/mol
Structure:
1-Hydroxypyrene is a hydroxylated derivative of pyrene, consisting of a fused four-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) structure with a hydroxyl (-OH) group substituted at the 1-position. The presence of the phenolic hydroxyl group enhances its polarity compared to pyrene and influences its chemical reactivity and biological interactions while retaining the extended aromatic π-conjugated system.
Class: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolite
Phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon framework
Biomonitoring and Toxicology:
1-Hydroxypyrene is widely recognized as a primary metabolite of Pyrene and is commonly used as a biomarker for assessing human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental and occupational health studies.
Environmental analysis:
Used as a reference compound in environmental testing and analytical chemistry for detecting PAH contamination in air, soil, and water samples.
Fluorescence research:
Due to its strong fluorescence characteristics, it is utilized in photophysical studies, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular probe development.
Analytical chemistry:
Frequently employed as a calibration standard in chromatographic techniques such as HPLC and GC-MS for PAH metabolite analysis.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Protect from light and moisture. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Handling:
Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with skin or eyes. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, safety goggles, and lab coat. Handle in accordance with established laboratory safety protocols.
