Chemical Structure

Bis(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)disulfide CAS 6088-51-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Bis(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)disulfide is closely related to a steroid core, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Bis(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)disulfide (CAS 6088-51-3), molecular formula C20H14O2S2 and molecular weight 350.45 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Bis(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)disulfide is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 350.45 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
