Chemical Structure

5-Methoxypentan-2-ol CAS 18423-18-2 chemical structure

Description

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

5-Methoxypentan-2-ol (CAS 18423-18-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H14O2 and a molecular weight of 118.17 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Methoxypentan-2-ol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 118.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Methoxypentan-2-ol 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.
