Chemical Structure

5-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)pentanoic acid CAS 1039915-71-3 chemical structure

Description

5-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)pentanoic acid (CAS 1039915-71-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H18O4 and a molecular weight of 286.32 g/mol.

5-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)pentanoic acid (C17H18O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 5-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)pentanoic acid 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.
