Chemical Structure

5-Fluoro-2-naphthalenol CAS 741693-88-9 chemical structure

Description

5-Fluoro-2-naphthalenol (CAS 741693-88-9), molecular formula C10H7FO and molecular weight 162.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Fluoro-2-naphthalenol (C10H7FO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
