Chemical Structure

7-methoxy-2-naphthoic acid CAS 5043-07-2 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 7-methoxy-2-naphthoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

7-methoxy-2-naphthoic acid (CAS 5043-07-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H10O3 and a molecular weight of 202.21 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 7-methoxy-2-naphthoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 202.21 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.
