Description
1,5-Dihydroxy-pentan-3-one is a bifunctional aliphatic ketone supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for laboratory and biochemical research. It is registered under CAS number 4254-85-7 with empirical formula C₅H₁₀O₃ and a molar mass of 118,13 g/mol. The presence of both ketone and terminal hydroxyl groups makes the molecule attractive as a small bifunctional intermediate for condensation chemistry, linker design, and exploratory synthesis. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH arrives with transparent identity parameters that support accurate weighing, documentation, and reaction planning. Researchers in organic chemistry, materials science, and related disciplines can integrate this dihydroxy ketone into route scouting and structure–activity studies where a compact C₅ oxygenated scaffold is needed. Clear CAS, formula, and molar-mass data help maintain traceability from receipt through experimental use.

Questions about 1,5-Dihydroxy-pentan-3-one, min. 95 %, 25 mg
What is this article?
1,5-Dihydroxy-pentan-3-one, min. 95 %, 25 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Spectroscopy & physical property standards, inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
These standards check a physical or optical measurement: a refractive-index liquid, a wavelength standard, a viscosity oil, a melting-point substance. The stated value and its uncertainty are the product. They are not general reagents.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
