2-Methoxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalene CAS 39499-17-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-Methoxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalene 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.

2-Methoxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalene (CAS 39499-17-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H9F3O and a molecular weight of 226.19 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Methoxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
