Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 240.18 g/mol gives 1-(Trifluoromethyl)-2-naphthoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 1-(Trifluoromethyl)-2-naphthoic acid (CAS 852103-58-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H7F3O2, MW 240.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
1-(Trifluoromethyl)-2-naphthoic acid (C12H7F3O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, 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, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.
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 1-(Trifluoromethyl)-2-naphthoic acid 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.
