Chemical Structure

2-(3-Chlorophenyl)-6-methoxynaphthalene CAS 942475-08-3 chemical structure

Description

2-(3-Chlorophenyl)-6-methoxynaphthalene (CAS 942475-08-3), molecular formula C17H13ClO and molecular weight 268.74 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-(3-Chlorophenyl)-6-methoxynaphthalene (C17H13ClO) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 268.74 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
