Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-hydroxyhexanoate CAS 101853-50-3 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 4-hydroxyhexanoate.

Ethyl 4-hydroxyhexanoate (CAS 101853-50-3), molecular formula C8H16O3 and molecular weight 160.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 4-hydroxyhexanoate (C8H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range.

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 4-hydroxyhexanoate 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.
