Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-acetyl-5-chloropentanoate CAS 89118-13-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 192.64 g/mol gives Methyl 2-acetyl-5-chloropentanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 2-acetyl-5-chloropentanoate (CAS 89118-13-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H13ClO3 and a molecular weight of 192.64 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl 2-acetyl-5-chloropentanoate (C8H13ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 192.64 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
