Chemical Structure

1-Chloro-3-methylnaphthalene CAS 132277-09-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Chloro-3-methylnaphthalene is closely related to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-Chloro-3-methylnaphthalene (CAS 132277-09-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H9Cl and a molecular weight of 176.64 g/mol.

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-Chloro-3-methylnaphthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 176.64 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
