Acetomenaphthone

About Acetomenaphthone

Acetomenaphthone is an impurity of Phytonadione carrying the CAS registry number 573-20-6. Its molecular formula is C15H14O4 and its molecular weight is 258.27 g/mol. Systematically, it is named (4-acetyloxy-3-methylnaphthalen-1-yl) acetate. Alternative names: Menadiol diacetate and Kapilin.

It is supplied as a solid. Keep the vial tightly closed, protected from light and humidity, at the temperature stated on the Certificate of Analysis. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a characterised impurity of Phytonadione, it is used for analytical method development, method validation (AMV) and routine quality-control testing, and it supports ANDA and DMF regulatory filings. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

We offer Acetomenaphthone in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
