2-(4-Chlorobenzyl)naphthalene CAS 3042-67-9 chemical structure

Description

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

2-(4-Chlorobenzyl)naphthalene (CAS 3042-67-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H13Cl and a molecular weight of 252.74 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C17H13Cl, 2-(4-Chlorobenzyl)naphthalene contains chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 252.74 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
