Chemical Structure

Potassium 6-Hydroxyhexanoate CAS 21810-34-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 170.25 g/mol gives Potassium 6-Hydroxyhexanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Potassium 6-Hydroxyhexanoate (CAS 21810-34-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H11O3K, MW 170.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C6H11O3K, Potassium 6-Hydroxyhexanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 170.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
