Chemical Structure

Methyl (E)-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)acrylate CAS 22837-78-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl (E)-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)acrylate (CAS 22837-78-1), molecular formula C14H12O2 and molecular weight 212.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl (E)-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)acrylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
