Chemical Structure

1,4,5,8-Tetramethoxynaphthalene CAS 10075-68-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 248.27 g/mol gives 1,4,5,8-Tetramethoxynaphthalene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 1,4,5,8-Tetramethoxynaphthalene (CAS 10075-68-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H16O4, MW 248.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1,4,5,8-Tetramethoxynaphthalene (C14H16O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic 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.

CATO manufactures 1,4,5,8-Tetramethoxynaphthalene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
