2-Pentenoic acid CAS 626-98-2 chemical structure

Description

2-Pentenoic acid (CAS 626-98-2), molecular formula C5H8O2 and molecular weight 100.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Pentenoic acid (C5H8O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 100.12 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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

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.
