Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-6-methoxynaphthalene CAS 41790-33-4 chemical structure

Description

2-(Chloromethyl)-6-methoxynaphthalene (CAS 41790-33-4), molecular formula C12H11ClO and molecular weight 206.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-methoxynaphthalene (C12H11ClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-methoxynaphthalene 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.
