Chemical Structure

6-Methyl-6-hepten-4-yn-2-ol CAS 20937-57-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Methyl-6-hepten-4-yn-2-ol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 6-Methyl-6-hepten-4-yn-2-ol (CAS 20937-57-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H12O, MW 124.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-Methyl-6-hepten-4-yn-2-ol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 124.18 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.
