Chemical Structure

2-(3-Methylbut-2-en-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione CAS 3568-90-9 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 2-(3-Methylbut-2-en-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione.

CATO supplies 2-(3-Methylbut-2-en-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione (CAS 3568-90-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H14O2, MW 226.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-(3-Methylbut-2-en-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.27 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).

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.

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.
