Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-4-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoic acid CAS 7498-80-8 chemical structure

Description

2-Methyl-4-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoic acid (CAS 7498-80-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H16O2 and a molecular weight of 228.29 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C15H16O2, 2-Methyl-4-(naphthalen-1-yl)butanoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 228.29 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

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.
