Chemical Structure

3-(3-Methoxyphenyl)pentan-3-ol CAS 74385-17-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(3-Methoxyphenyl)pentan-3-ol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(3-Methoxyphenyl)pentan-3-ol (CAS 74385-17-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H18O2 and a molecular weight of 194.27 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-(3-Methoxyphenyl)pentan-3-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
