CATO supplies methyl 2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl)acetate (CAS 2630-39-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H22O3, MW 226.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of methyl 2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl)acetate (C13H22O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), methyl 2-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl)acetate 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.
