Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-iodohexanoate CAS 14273-91-7 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 6-iodohexanoate (CAS 14273-91-7), molecular formula C7H13IO2 and molecular weight 256.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C7H13IO2, Methyl 6-iodohexanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 256.08 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 Methyl 6-iodohexanoate 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.
