Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 178.25 g/mol gives cyclopentylmethyl methanesulfonate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
cyclopentylmethyl methanesulfonate (CAS 73017-76-2), molecular formula C7H14O3S and molecular weight 178.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, cyclopentylmethyl methanesulfonate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.25 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), cyclopentylmethyl methanesulfonate 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.
