Chemical Structure

n-hexyl ether CAS 112-58-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of n-hexyl ether is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies n-hexyl ether (CAS 112-58-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H26O, MW 186.33 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, n-hexyl ether is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.33 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.

CATO manufactures n-hexyl ether under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
