Chemical Structure

Pentaerythritol CAS 115-77-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Pentaerythritol is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Pentaerythritol (CAS 115-77-5), molecular formula C5H12O4 and molecular weight 136.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Pentaerythritol (C5H12O4) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 136.15 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.
