Chemical Structure

4-ethyl-3-oxohexanenitrile CAS 42124-67-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-ethyl-3-oxohexanenitrile (CAS 42124-67-4), molecular formula C8H13NO and molecular weight 139.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-ethyl-3-oxohexanenitrile (C8H13NO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 139.19 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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).

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