Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-oxohex-5-enoate CAS 23684-13-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 4-oxohex-5-enoate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 142.15 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).
