Ethyl 5-(4-ethylphenyl)-5-oxopentanoate CAS 898778-23-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ethyl 5-(4-ethylphenyl)-5-oxopentanoate.

Ethyl 5-(4-ethylphenyl)-5-oxopentanoate (CAS 898778-23-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H20O3 and a molecular weight of 248.32 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 5-(4-ethylphenyl)-5-oxopentanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 248.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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