Chemical Structure

Naphthalen-1-yl propionate CAS 3121-71-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 200.23 g/mol gives Naphthalen-1-yl propionate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Naphthalen-1-yl propionate (CAS 3121-71-9), molecular formula C13H12O2 and molecular weight 200.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Naphthalen-1-yl propionate (C13H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures Naphthalen-1-yl propionate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
