Ethyl 5-(4-n-propylphenyl)-5-oxovalerate CAS 162734-50-1

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 262.34 g/mol gives Ethyl 5-(4-n-propylphenyl)-5-oxovalerate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 5-(4-n-propylphenyl)-5-oxovalerate (CAS 162734-50-1), molecular formula C16H22O3 and molecular weight 262.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 5-(4-n-propylphenyl)-5-oxovalerate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 262.34 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.

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.
