1,4-Dihydroxynaphthalene CAS 571-60-8

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.17 g/mol gives 1,4-Dihydroxynaphthalene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 1,4-Dihydroxynaphthalene (CAS 571-60-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8O2, MW 160.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C10H8O2, 1,4-Dihydroxynaphthalene contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 160.17 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.

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 1,4-Dihydroxynaphthalene 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.
