Chemical Structure

1-(4-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)ethan-1-one CAS 28418-86-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(4-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)ethan-1-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(4-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)ethan-1-one (CAS 28418-86-2), molecular formula C13H12O and molecular weight 184.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1-(4-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)ethan-1-one (C13H12O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 184.23 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.

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.
