Chemical Structure

3,4-Epoxy-2-pentanone CAS 17257-79-3 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 3,4-Epoxy-2-pentanone.

3,4-Epoxy-2-pentanone (CAS 17257-79-3), molecular formula C5H8O2 and molecular weight 100.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3,4-Epoxy-2-pentanone (C5H8O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 100.12 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,4-Epoxy-2-pentanone 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.
