Chemical Structure

6-Methyltetralin CAS 1680-51-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Methyltetralin is closely related to an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-Methyltetralin (CAS 1680-51-9), molecular formula C11H14 and molecular weight 146.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

6-Methyltetralin (C11H14) contains an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), 6-Methyltetralin 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.
