Chemical Structure

1-(Chloromethyl)-4-methoxynaphthalene CAS 72771-24-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-methoxynaphthalene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-methoxynaphthalene (CAS 72771-24-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H11ClO, MW 206.67 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-methoxynaphthalene (C12H11ClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-methoxynaphthalene 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.
