Chemical Structure

3,7-dimethyl-(z)-6-octatriene CAS 3338-55-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

3,7-dimethyl-(z)-6-octatriene (CAS 3338-55-4), molecular formula C10H16 and molecular weight 136.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an organic framework, 3,7-dimethyl-(z)-6-octatriene is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 136.23 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).

CATO manufactures 3,7-dimethyl-(z)-6-octatriene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
