Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol gives 1H,2H,2AH,3H,4H,8bH-cyclobuta[a]naphthalen-2-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 1H,2H,2AH,3H,4H,8bH-cyclobuta[a]naphthalen-2-one (CAS 88336-60-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H12O, MW 172.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 1H,2H,2AH,3H,4H,8bH-cyclobuta[a]naphthalen-2-one (C12H12O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
