Chemical Structure

(3-Methylcyclohexyl)benzene CAS 17733-69-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (3-Methylcyclohexyl)benzene is closely related to an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(3-Methylcyclohexyl)benzene (CAS 17733-69-6), molecular formula C13H18 and molecular weight 174.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (3-Methylcyclohexyl)benzene (C13H18) contains an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 174.28 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 (3-Methylcyclohexyl)benzene 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.
