Chemical Structure

3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone CAS 107203-08-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 204.26 g/mol gives 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone (CAS 107203-08-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H16O2, MW 204.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 204.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone 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.
