Chemical Structure

(2-(Benzyloxy)naphthalen-1-yl)methanol CAS 217176-35-7 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.

CATO supplies (2-(Benzyloxy)naphthalen-1-yl)methanol (CAS 217176-35-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H16O2, MW 264.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2-(Benzyloxy)naphthalen-1-yl)methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 264.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
