Chemical Structure

5-Methylbenz[a]anthracene CAS 2319-96-2 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.

5-Methylbenz[a]anthracene (CAS 2319-96-2), molecular formula C19H14 and molecular weight 242.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 5-Methylbenz[a]anthracene (C19H14) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 242.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures 5-Methylbenz[a]anthracene 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.
