Chemical Structure

7-methylnaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde CAS 52988-18-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 7-methylnaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 7-methylnaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde (CAS 52988-18-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H20O, MW 180.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 7-methylnaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde (C12H20O) is characterized by 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 7-methylnaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde 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.
