Chemical Structure

1,6-Dimethylnaphthalene CAS 575-43-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

1,6-Dimethylnaphthalene (CAS 575-43-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H12 and a molecular weight of 156.22 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C12H12, 1,6-Dimethylnaphthalene contains an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 156.22 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.

CATO manufactures 1,6-Dimethylnaphthalene 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.
