The occurrence of Methyl 2-cyclopentylpropanoate 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 Methyl 2-cyclopentylpropanoate (CAS 61402-69-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H16O2, MW 156.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 2-cyclopentylpropanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 156.22 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.
CATO manufactures Methyl 2-cyclopentylpropanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
