Chemical Structure

2,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene-1,6-dicarbaldehyde CAS 111258-07-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene-1,6-dicarbaldehyde 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.

2,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene-1,6-dicarbaldehyde (CAS 111258-07-2), molecular formula C12H8O4 and molecular weight 216.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene-1,6-dicarbaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 216.19 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.

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