Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-5-oxopentanoate CAS 854859-01-1 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 5-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-5-oxopentanoate 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.

Ethyl 5-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-5-oxopentanoate (CAS 854859-01-1), molecular formula C14H18O3S and molecular weight 266.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 5-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-5-oxopentanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.36 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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