Description

Cadalene CAS NO 483-78-3 is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) of significant interest in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry. This compound serves as a valuable chemical intermediate and a key reference standard for environmental and petrochemical analysis. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and specialty chemical manufacturers engaged in advanced material development and geochemical studies.

Application

• Geochemical Biomarker: Used as a reference standard in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for identifying and quantifying cadalene-related sesquiterpenoids in crude oils, sediments, and rocks to assess thermal maturity and organic matter origin.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a building block for synthesizing more complex polycyclic structures and functionalized derivatives in pharmaceutical and material science research.
• Environmental Analysis: Acts as a target analyte and standard for monitoring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental samples, including air, water, and soil, to assess pollution levels.
• Reference Material: Employed in analytical laboratories for method development, calibration, and quality control procedures in chromatographic analysis.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Utilized in studies concerning the chemistry, reactivity, and properties of alkylated naphthalenes and related aromatic systems.
