Chemical Structure

4-Hydroxy-4-Methyl-2-Pentanone CAS 123-42-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-Hydroxy-4-Methyl-2-Pentanone.

4-Hydroxy-4-Methyl-2-Pentanone (CAS 123-42-2), molecular formula C6H12O2 and molecular weight 116.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-Hydroxy-4-Methyl-2-Pentanone (C6H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 116.16 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
