Chemical Structure

2-Pentenal CAS 764-39-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Pentenal is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Pentenal (CAS 764-39-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H8O, MW 84.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Pentenal is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 84.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Pentenal 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.
