Chemical Structure

1-Methylpyrene CAS 2381-21-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Methylpyrene is closely related to a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1-Methylpyrene (CAS 2381-21-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H12, MW 216.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 1-Methylpyrene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 216.28 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).

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 1-Methylpyrene 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.
