Chemical Structure

4-Methyl-2-Pentanone CAS 108-10-1 chemical structure

Description

4-Methyl-2-Pentanone (CAS 108-10-1), molecular formula C6H12O and molecular weight 100.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C6H12O, 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 100.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
