Chemical Structure

8-Hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid CAS 1769-88-6 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 8-Hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid 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.

8-Hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid (CAS 1769-88-6), molecular formula C11H8O3 and molecular weight 188.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 8-Hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid (C11H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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 188.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
