2-Methylbenz[a]anthracene CAS 2498-76-2

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 242.31 g/mol gives 2-Methylbenz[a]anthracene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Methylbenz[a]anthracene (CAS 2498-76-2), molecular formula C19H14 and molecular weight 242.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Methylbenz[a]anthracene (C19H14) is characterized by a polycyclic aromatic 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 2-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.
