Chemical Structure

2-Methoxy-6-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxymethyl)-benzoic acid CAS 1171923-38-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methoxy-6-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxymethyl)-benzoic acid is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Methoxy-6-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxymethyl)-benzoic acid (CAS 1171923-38-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H18O4, MW 322.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C20H18O4, 2-Methoxy-6-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxymethyl)-benzoic acid contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 322.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methoxy-6-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxymethyl)-benzoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
