Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-oxohexanoate CAS 3249-33-0 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 Ethyl 4-oxohexanoate.

Ethyl 4-oxohexanoate (CAS 3249-33-0), molecular formula C8H14O3 and molecular weight 158.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 4-oxohexanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 4-oxohexanoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
