Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-1,3-diene-1-carboxylate CAS 159663-34-0 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Ethyl 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-1,3-diene-1-carboxylate (C10H14O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

CATO supplies Ethyl 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-1,3-diene-1-carboxylate (CAS 159663-34-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H14O4, MW 198.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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

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.
