Chemical Structure

(S)-5-Hexanolide CAS 16320-13-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 114.14 g/mol gives (S)-5-Hexanolide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(S)-5-Hexanolide (CAS 16320-13-1), molecular formula C6H10O2 and molecular weight 114.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (S)-5-Hexanolide (C6H10O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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.

CATO manufactures (S)-5-Hexanolide 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.
