Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-oxopentanoate CAS 131699-22-4 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies Methyl 5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-oxopentanoate (CAS 131699-22-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H18O5, MW 266.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-oxopentanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-oxopentanoate 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.
