6-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-naphthoic acid CAS 5859-95-0 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.

6-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-naphthoic acid (CAS 5859-95-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H10O3 and a molecular weight of 202.21 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 6-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-naphthoic acid (C12H10O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures 6-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-naphthoic acid 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.
