Chemical Structure

2-Fluoro-6-methoxynaphthalene CAS 13101-89-8 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.

CATO supplies 2-Fluoro-6-methoxynaphthalene (CAS 13101-89-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H9FO, MW 176.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Fluoro-6-methoxynaphthalene (C11H9FO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
