Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 190.28 g/mol gives Cyclopentyl(p-tolyl)methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Cyclopentyl(p-tolyl)methanol (CAS 340271-18-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H18O and a molecular weight of 190.28 g/mol.
Cyclopentyl(p-tolyl)methanol (C13H18O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
