Chemical Structure

Ethyl 6-(4-methylphenyl)-6-oxohexanoate CAS 100847-87-8 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 6-(4-methylphenyl)-6-oxohexanoate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 6-(4-methylphenyl)-6-oxohexanoate (CAS 100847-87-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H20O3, MW 248.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C15H20O3, Ethyl 6-(4-methylphenyl)-6-oxohexanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 248.32 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 6-(4-methylphenyl)-6-oxohexanoate 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.
