Chemical Structure

1,2,6-Trimethylnaphthalene CAS 3031-05-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1,2,6-Trimethylnaphthalene.

CATO supplies 1,2,6-Trimethylnaphthalene (CAS 3031-05-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H14, MW 170.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, 1,2,6-Trimethylnaphthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.25 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.
