Chemical Structure

Benzyl 2-methylenepentanoate CAS 118785-93-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Benzyl 2-methylenepentanoate 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.

Benzyl 2-methylenepentanoate (CAS 118785-93-6), molecular formula C13H16O2 and molecular weight 204.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Benzyl 2-methylenepentanoate (C13H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 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.

CATO manufactures Benzyl 2-methylenepentanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
