3-Chloro-2-(2-naphthyloxy)aniline (CAS 937604-73-4), molecular formula C16H12ClNO and molecular weight 269.73 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 3-Chloro-2-(2-naphthyloxy)aniline is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.73 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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 3-Chloro-2-(2-naphthyloxy)aniline 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.
