Chemical Structure

(4-Ethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methanol CAS 1707403-22-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Ethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methanol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(4-Ethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methanol (CAS 1707403-22-2), molecular formula C13H14O2 and molecular weight 202.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(4-Ethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methanol (C13H14O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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.
