Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 222.28 g/mol gives 5-(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)pentanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
5-(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)pentanoic acid (CAS 87411-40-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H18O3 and a molecular weight of 222.28 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 5-(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)pentanoic acid (C13H18O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
