Chemical Structure

1-(2-Methylcyclopent-1-en-1-yl)ethanone CAS 3168-90-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(2-Methylcyclopent-1-en-1-yl)ethanone is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(2-Methylcyclopent-1-en-1-yl)ethanone (CAS 3168-90-9), molecular formula C8H12O and molecular weight 124.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1-(2-Methylcyclopent-1-en-1-yl)ethanone (C8H12O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

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), 1-(2-Methylcyclopent-1-en-1-yl)ethanone 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.
