Chemical Structure

Sodium 1-Naphthaleneacetate CAS 61-31-4 chemical structure

Description

Sodium 1-Naphthaleneacetate (CAS 61-31-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H9O2Na and a molecular weight of 208.19 g/mol.

Structurally, Sodium 1-Naphthaleneacetate (C12H9O2Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.5, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 208.19 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), Sodium 1-Naphthaleneacetate 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.
