Chemical Structure

2-Methylpentane-1,5-diol CAS 42856-62-2 chemical structure

Description

2-Methylpentane-1,5-diol (CAS 42856-62-2), molecular formula C6H14O2 and molecular weight 118.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Methylpentane-1,5-diol (C6H14O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methylpentane-1,5-diol 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.
