Chemical Structure

2,6-Dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one CAS 40790-56-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2,6-Dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one 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).
