Chemical Structure

2-Methoxy-6-(2-naphthalen-1-yl-ethyl)-benzoic acid CAS 1171924-00-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Methoxy-6-(2-naphthalen-1-yl-ethyl)-benzoic acid (CAS 1171924-00-7), molecular formula C20H18O3 and molecular weight 306.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Methoxy-6-(2-naphthalen-1-yl-ethyl)-benzoic acid (C20H18O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
