Description

11-Methylbenz[A]Anthracene is a high-purity polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, a critical compound for advanced chemical research and development. Its specific methyl-substituted structure makes it a valuable intermediate and reference standard in the study of mutagenic and carcinogenic processes. This product is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental science, and industrial chemical sectors who require precise and reliable materials for analytical and synthetic applications.

Application

• As a certified reference standard for analytical method development and validation in environmental testing (e.g., PAH analysis in soil, water, and air).
• As a key chemical intermediate in organic synthesis for creating more complex polyaromatic structures.
• In toxicological and pharmacological research as a model compound for studying metabolic activation and DNA adduct formation.
• For use in material science research, particularly in the development of organic semiconductors and luminescent materials.
• As a calibration standard in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) systems.
