Chemical Structure

9-(2-Methoxyethyl)anthracene CAS 5166-49-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

9-(2-Methoxyethyl)anthracene (CAS 5166-49-4), molecular formula C17H16O and molecular weight 236.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C17H16O, 9-(2-Methoxyethyl)anthracene contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 236.31 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
