Chemical Structure

4-Amino-2-naphthoic acid CAS 5773-98-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Amino-2-naphthoic acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-Amino-2-naphthoic acid (CAS 5773-98-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H9NO2 and a molecular weight of 187.19 g/mol.

4-Amino-2-naphthoic acid (C11H9NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Amino-2-naphthoic acid 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.
