Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 140.18 g/mol gives Ethyl hex-2-ynoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Ethyl hex-2-ynoate (CAS 16205-90-6), molecular formula C8H12O2 and molecular weight 140.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Ethyl hex-2-ynoate (C8H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl hex-2-ynoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
