Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-(pentyloxy)benzoate CAS 1129261-87-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 3-(pentyloxy)benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 3-(pentyloxy)benzoate (CAS 1129261-87-5), molecular formula C14H20O3 and molecular weight 236.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 3-(pentyloxy)benzoate (C14H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 236.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Ethyl 3-(pentyloxy)benzoate 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.
