Chemical Structure

Pentyl 3-oxobutanoate CAS 6624-84-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol gives Pentyl 3-oxobutanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Pentyl 3-oxobutanoate (CAS 6624-84-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H16O3 and a molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Pentyl 3-oxobutanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.22 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.
