Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-Oxo-1-(o-tolyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate CAS 1385694-69-8 chemical structure

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-Oxo-1-(o-tolyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate (CAS 1385694-69-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H18O3, MW 246.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl 4-Oxo-1-(o-tolyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 246.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
