Chemical Structure

3-(2-Naphthyl)propanoic Acid CAS 21658-35-5 chemical structure

Description

3-(2-Naphthyl)propanoic Acid (CAS 21658-35-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H12O2 and a molecular weight of 200.23 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-(2-Naphthyl)propanoic Acid (C13H12O2) 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

CATO manufactures 3-(2-Naphthyl)propanoic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
