Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 226.70 g/mol gives 1-((4-Chlorophenoxy)methyl)cyclopentan-1-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
1-((4-Chlorophenoxy)methyl)cyclopentan-1-ol (CAS 1489655-86-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H15ClO2 and a molecular weight of 226.70 g/mol.
1-((4-Chlorophenoxy)methyl)cyclopentan-1-ol (C12H15ClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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 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.
