Chemical Structure

1-Acetyl-2,6-dimethoxynaphthalene CAS 86539-77-7 chemical structure

Description

1-Acetyl-2,6-dimethoxynaphthalene (CAS 86539-77-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H14O3 and a molecular weight of 230.26 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 1-Acetyl-2,6-dimethoxynaphthalene is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 230.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 1-Acetyl-2,6-dimethoxynaphthalene 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.
