Chemical Structure

(S)-4-Hydroxycyclopent-2-enone CAS 59995-49-2 chemical structure

Description

(S)-4-Hydroxycyclopent-2-enone (CAS 59995-49-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H6O2 and a molecular weight of 98.10 g/mol.

Structurally, (S)-4-Hydroxycyclopent-2-enone (C5H6O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 98.10 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), (S)-4-Hydroxycyclopent-2-enone 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.
