The occurrence of (R)-1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)ethanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(R)-1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)ethanol (CAS 42177-25-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H12O and a molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (R)-1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)ethanol is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.22 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).
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 (R)-1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)ethanol 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.
