Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-oxo-5-(phenanthren-9-yl)pentanoate CAS 898752-88-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 320.38 g/mol gives Ethyl 5-oxo-5-(phenanthren-9-yl)pentanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 5-oxo-5-(phenanthren-9-yl)pentanoate (CAS 898752-88-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H20O3 and a molecular weight of 320.38 g/mol.

Ethyl 5-oxo-5-(phenanthren-9-yl)pentanoate (C21H20O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
