Chemical Structure

1-Methoxy-6-naphthol CAS 150712-57-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 1-Methoxy-6-naphthol (CAS 150712-57-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10O2, MW 174.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 1-Methoxy-6-naphthol (C11H10O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 174.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Methoxy-6-naphthol 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.
