Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-methyl-2-naphthoate CAS 6162-30-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 6-methyl-2-naphthoate 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.

Methyl 6-methyl-2-naphthoate (CAS 6162-30-7), molecular formula C13H12O2 and molecular weight 200.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 6-methyl-2-naphthoate (C13H12O2) 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).

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