Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate CAS 81867-09-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ethyl 2-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate (CAS 81867-09-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H16O3, MW 220.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate (C13H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 220.26 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Ethyl 2-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate 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.
