Chemical Structure

1-(4-Hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)ethanone CAS 3669-52-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(4-Hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)ethanone is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(4-Hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)ethanone (CAS 3669-52-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H10O2 and a molecular weight of 186.21 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 1-(4-Hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)ethanone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.21 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.
