Chemical Structure

4-methylpentane-1,3-diol CAS 54876-99-2 chemical structure

Description

4-methylpentane-1,3-diol (CAS 54876-99-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H14O2 and a molecular weight of 118.17 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-methylpentane-1,3-diol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 118.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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), 4-methylpentane-1,3-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.
