Chemical Structure

1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)pentan-1-one CAS 2876-60-0 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)pentan-1-one (CAS 2876-60-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H16O, MW 212.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)pentan-1-one (C15H16O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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 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).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)pentan-1-one meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
