Chemical Structure

3-[(naphthalen-2-yloxy)methyl]benzoic acid CAS 438464-01-8 chemical structure

Description

3-[(naphthalen-2-yloxy)methyl]benzoic acid (CAS 438464-01-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H14O3 and a molecular weight of 278.30 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-[(naphthalen-2-yloxy)methyl]benzoic acid (C18H14O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 3-[(naphthalen-2-yloxy)methyl]benzoic acid 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.
