Chemical Structure

(4-Pentylphenyl)methanol CAS 81720-37-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Pentylphenyl)methanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(4-Pentylphenyl)methanol (CAS 81720-37-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H18O and a molecular weight of 178.27 g/mol.

(4-Pentylphenyl)methanol (C12H18O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

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.
