Chemical Structure

4-(Chloromethyl)-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)pyridine CAS 482376-26-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 4-(Chloromethyl)-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)pyridine (CAS 482376-26-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12ClN, MW 253.73 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 4-(Chloromethyl)-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)pyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 253.73 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.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
