Chemical Structure

2,2-Dicyclopentylacetic acid CAS 55640-02-3 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C12H20O2, 2,2-Dicyclopentylacetic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 196.29 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

2,2-Dicyclopentylacetic acid (CAS 55640-02-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H20O2 and a molecular weight of 196.29 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
