Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-(Naphthalen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate CAS 158053-33-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3-(Naphthalen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate 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.

Methyl 3-(Naphthalen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate (CAS 158053-33-9), molecular formula C14H12O3 and molecular weight 228.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl 3-(Naphthalen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 228.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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