Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoate CAS 898759-03-0 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Ethyl 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoate (CAS 898759-03-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H15ClO3 and a molecular weight of 254.71 g/mol.

Ethyl 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoate (C13H15ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
