8-(Chloromethyl)-1-naphthonitrile CAS 18512-45-3 chemical structure

Description

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

8-(Chloromethyl)-1-naphthonitrile (CAS 18512-45-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H8ClN and a molecular weight of 201.65 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 8-(Chloromethyl)-1-naphthonitrile (C12H8ClN) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 8-(Chloromethyl)-1-naphthonitrile 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.
