Chemical Structure

Naphthol AS-BI CAS 1237-75-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Naphthol AS-BI is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 372.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Naphthol AS-BI (CAS 1237-75-8), molecular formula C18H14BrNO3 and molecular weight 372.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

CATO manufactures Naphthol AS-BI 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.
