Chemical Structure

4-Cyclohexyl-4-oxobutanoic acid CAS 15971-95-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 184.23 g/mol gives 4-Cyclohexyl-4-oxobutanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Cyclohexyl-4-oxobutanoic acid (CAS 15971-95-6), molecular formula C10H16O3 and molecular weight 184.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-Cyclohexyl-4-oxobutanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.23 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.

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

CATO manufactures 4-Cyclohexyl-4-oxobutanoic acid 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.
