Chemical Structure

2-(3-methylbutyryl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione CAS 172611-72-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(3-methylbutyryl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(3-methylbutyryl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (CAS 172611-72-2), molecular formula C13H20O3 and molecular weight 224.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(3-methylbutyryl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (C13H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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).
