Chemical Structure

1-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene CAS 362707-39-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

1-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene (CAS 362707-39-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H11Cl and a molecular weight of 190.67 g/mol.

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 190.67 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO manufactures 1-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene 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.
