Chemical Structure

1,5-Dichloropentane-2,4-dione CAS 40630-12-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,5-Dichloropentane-2,4-dione is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1,5-Dichloropentane-2,4-dione (CAS 40630-12-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H6Cl2O2 and a molecular weight of 169.01 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C5H6Cl2O2, 1,5-Dichloropentane-2,4-dione contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 169.01 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
