1-(4-Iodophenyl)hexan-1-one (CAS 160565-78-6), molecular formula C12H15IO and molecular weight 302.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C12H15IO, 1-(4-Iodophenyl)hexan-1-one contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 302.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
