Chemical Structure

1-Hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-one CAS 68113-55-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-one 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.

1-Hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-one (CAS 68113-55-3), molecular formula C6H12O2 and molecular weight 116.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1-Hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-one (C6H12O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-one 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.
