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.
(Z)-Oct-5-en-1-yl acetate (CAS 71978-00-2), molecular formula C8H16OC2H4O2 and molecular weight 188.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (Z)-Oct-5-en-1-yl acetate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (Z)-Oct-5-en-1-yl acetate 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.
