Chemical Structure

6,7-Dimethoxy-2-naphthaldehyde CAS 66920-80-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 6,7-Dimethoxy-2-naphthaldehyde 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.

6,7-Dimethoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS 66920-80-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H12O3 and a molecular weight of 216.23 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 6,7-Dimethoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (C13H12O3) 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 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.
