6-Hydroxy-2-naphthaleneacetic Acid CAS 10441-46-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 6-Hydroxy-2-naphthaleneacetic Acid.

CATO supplies 6-Hydroxy-2-naphthaleneacetic Acid (CAS 10441-46-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10O3, MW 202.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C12H10O3, 6-Hydroxy-2-naphthaleneacetic Acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 202.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
