Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-1-methylnaphthalene CAS 112929-89-2 chemical structure

Description

3-Bromo-1-methylnaphthalene (CAS 112929-89-2), molecular formula C11H9Br and molecular weight 221.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Bromo-1-methylnaphthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 221.09 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
