Chemical Structure

1-(4-Chlorobenzyl)naphthalene CAS 1591-43-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(4-Chlorobenzyl)naphthalene is closely related to chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(4-Chlorobenzyl)naphthalene (CAS 1591-43-1), molecular formula C17H13Cl and molecular weight 252.74 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1-(4-Chlorobenzyl)naphthalene (C17H13Cl) is characterized by chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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).

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.
