Chemical Structure

1-Benzyl-3-methylnaphthalene CAS 93870-53-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 1-Benzyl-3-methylnaphthalene (CAS 93870-53-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H16, MW 232.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 1-Benzyl-3-methylnaphthalene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Benzyl-3-methylnaphthalene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
