Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoate CAS 6326-89-2 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Ethyl 4-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoate (C40H34O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 24.0, corresponding to approximately 24 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 546.70 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoate (CAS 6326-89-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C40H34O2, MW 546.70 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
