Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(triphenyl-lambda5-phosphanylidene)pentanoate CAS 5717-38-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 390.45 g/mol gives Ethyl 2-(triphenyl-lambda5-phosphanylidene)pentanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 2-(triphenyl-lambda5-phosphanylidene)pentanoate (CAS 5717-38-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C25H27O2P and a molecular weight of 390.45 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 2-(triphenyl-lambda5-phosphanylidene)pentanoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 390.45 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
