The occurrence of Ethyl 5-(4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)-5-oxopentanoate is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Ethyl 5-(4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)-5-oxopentanoate (CAS 898757-97-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H30O4, MW 334.45 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C20H30O4, Ethyl 5-(4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)-5-oxopentanoate contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 334.45 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
