Chemical Structure

1-(O-tolyl)pentan-1-one CAS 20359-56-2 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C12H16O, 1-(O-tolyl)pentan-1-one contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 176.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

1-(O-tolyl)pentan-1-one (CAS 20359-56-2), molecular formula C12H16O and molecular weight 176.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

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.
