Chemical Structure

1-Fluoro-2-methylnaphthalene CAS 573-99-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Fluoro-2-methylnaphthalene is closely related to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-Fluoro-2-methylnaphthalene (CAS 573-99-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H9F and a molecular weight of 160.19 g/mol.

1-Fluoro-2-methylnaphthalene (C11H9F) contains fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Fluoro-2-methylnaphthalene 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.
