1-Chloro-2-methylnaphthalene CAS 5859-45-0 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.

CATO supplies 1-Chloro-2-methylnaphthalene (CAS 5859-45-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H9Cl, MW 176.64 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C11H9Cl, 1-Chloro-2-methylnaphthalene contains chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 176.64 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Chloro-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.
