Chemical Structure

1-Methyl-2-tetralone CAS 4024-14-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol gives 1-Methyl-2-tetralone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 1-Methyl-2-tetralone (CAS 4024-14-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H12O, MW 160.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 1-Methyl-2-tetralone (C11H12O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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 1-Methyl-2-tetralone 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.
