Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-Pentenoate CAS 1968-40-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 4-Pentenoate 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.

Ethyl 4-Pentenoate (CAS 1968-40-7), molecular formula C7H12O2 and molecular weight 128.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C7H12O2, Ethyl 4-Pentenoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 128.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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), Ethyl 4-Pentenoate 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.
