2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene CAS 581-42-0

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 156.22 g/mol gives 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene (CAS 581-42-0), molecular formula C12H12 and molecular weight 156.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene (C12H12) contains an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 156.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene 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.
