The occurrence of Ethyl 5-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-5-oxovalerate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Ethyl 5-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-5-oxovalerate (CAS 898792-79-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H20O3 and a molecular weight of 248.32 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 5-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-5-oxovalerate (C15H20O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 5-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-5-oxovalerate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
