Chemical Structure

2-[(1-formylnaphthalen-2-yl)oxy]acetic acid CAS 27855-91-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[(1-formylnaphthalen-2-yl)oxy]acetic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-[(1-formylnaphthalen-2-yl)oxy]acetic acid (CAS 27855-91-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H20O4, MW 240.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-[(1-formylnaphthalen-2-yl)oxy]acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 240.30 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
