Chemical Structure

5-Methyl-2-phenylhex-4-enoic acid CAS 151813-42-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Methyl-2-phenylhex-4-enoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Methyl-2-phenylhex-4-enoic acid (CAS 151813-42-2), molecular formula C13H16O2 and molecular weight 204.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Methyl-2-phenylhex-4-enoic acid (C13H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
