Chemical Structure

β-Hydroxycyclopentanepropanoic acid CAS 5660-76-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of β-Hydroxycyclopentanepropanoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies β-Hydroxycyclopentanepropanoic acid (CAS 5660-76-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H14O3, MW 158.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, β-Hydroxycyclopentanepropanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), β-Hydroxycyclopentanepropanoic acid 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.
