CATO supplies Naphtho[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole (CAS 269-43-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H8O2, MW 172.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C11H8O2, Naphtho[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 172.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
