Chemical Structure

Ethyl 1-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate CAS 74016-16-3 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 1-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate (C13H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 1-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate (CAS 74016-16-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H20O3, MW 224.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
