Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-5-(thiophen-2-yl)pentan-2-ol CAS 1342206-97-6 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 3-Methyl-5-(thiophen-2-yl)pentan-2-ol.

3-Methyl-5-(thiophen-2-yl)pentan-2-ol (CAS 1342206-97-6), molecular formula C10H16OS and molecular weight 184.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Methyl-5-(thiophen-2-yl)pentan-2-ol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
