Chemical Structure

(8-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)methanol CAS 10336-29-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (8-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)methanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(8-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)methanol (CAS 10336-29-5), molecular formula C12H12O and molecular weight 172.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (8-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)methanol is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
