Chemical Structure

(5E)-6-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-hexene-2,4-dione CAS 189181-53-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (5E)-6-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-hexene-2,4-dione.

(5E)-6-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-hexene-2,4-dione (CAS 189181-53-1), molecular formula C13H14O4 and molecular weight 234.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (5E)-6-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-hexene-2,4-dione (C13H14O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

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.
