Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoic acid CAS 15410-69-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Methyl-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoic acid.

3-Methyl-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoic acid (CAS 15410-69-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H16O2 and a molecular weight of 228.29 g/mol.

Structurally, 3-Methyl-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoic acid (C15H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 228.29 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

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.
