Chemical Structure

(4-Methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanol CAS 123239-65-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanol is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (4-Methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanol (CAS 123239-65-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H16O2, MW 264.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(4-Methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanol (C18H16O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
