Chemical Structure

Naphthalen-2-yl 2-methoxybenzoate CAS 85966-09-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Naphthalen-2-yl 2-methoxybenzoate is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Naphthalen-2-yl 2-methoxybenzoate (CAS 85966-09-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H14O3, MW 278.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Naphthalen-2-yl 2-methoxybenzoate (C18H14O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 278.30 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures Naphthalen-2-yl 2-methoxybenzoate 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.
