Chemical Structure

4-Methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde CAS 883531-98-4 chemical structure

Description

4-Methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde (CAS 883531-98-4), molecular formula C12H14O2 and molecular weight 190.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-Methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde (C12H14O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
