Chemical Structure

2-(2-naphthylmethoxy)benzaldehyde CAS 872183-48-7 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 2-(2-naphthylmethoxy)benzaldehyde (C18H14O2) 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 262.30 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).
