Chemical Structure

8-methylnaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde CAS 6549-57-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 8-methylnaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

8-methylnaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde (CAS 6549-57-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H20O and a molecular weight of 180.29 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 8-methylnaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde (C12H20O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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.

CATO manufactures 8-methylnaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde 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.
