Chemical Structure

2-chloropentanoic acid CAS 6155-96-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-chloropentanoic 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 2-chloropentanoic acid (CAS 6155-96-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H38O10, MW 414.49 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-chloropentanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 414.49 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 2-chloropentanoic acid 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.
