Chemical Structure

4-[(2-Naphthyloxy)methyl]benzoic acid CAS 149288-37-9 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.

4-[(2-Naphthyloxy)methyl]benzoic acid (CAS 149288-37-9), molecular formula C18H14O3 and molecular weight 278.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-[(2-Naphthyloxy)methyl]benzoic acid (C18H14O3) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-[(2-Naphthyloxy)methyl]benzoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
