Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-5-oxo-1-cyclopentenyl Propionate CAS 87-55-8 chemical structure

Description

2-Methyl-5-oxo-1-cyclopentenyl Propionate (C9H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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).

2-Methyl-5-oxo-1-cyclopentenyl Propionate (CAS 87-55-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H12O3 and a molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol.

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.

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.
