2-(5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yloxy)acetic acid CAS 1878-59-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yloxy)acetic acid.

2-(5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yloxy)acetic acid (CAS 1878-59-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14O3 and a molecular weight of 206.24 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-(5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yloxy)acetic acid (C12H14O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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 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.
