Chemical Structure

5-Chloropentan-2-ol CAS 15146-94-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Chloropentan-2-ol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 5-Chloropentan-2-ol (CAS 15146-94-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H11ClO, MW 122.59 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-Chloropentan-2-ol (C5H11ClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 5-Chloropentan-2-ol 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.
