Chemical Structure

4-Methylcyclohex-3-enecarbonyl Chloride CAS 16695-95-7 chemical structure

Description

4-Methylcyclohex-3-enecarbonyl Chloride (CAS 16695-95-7), molecular formula C8H11ClO and molecular weight 158.63 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 4-Methylcyclohex-3-enecarbonyl Chloride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.63 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
