Chemical Structure

3-Hexene-2,5-dione CAS 4436-75-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-Hexene-2,5-dione (CAS 4436-75-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8O2, MW 112.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-Hexene-2,5-dione (C6H8O2) contains a carboxylic acid 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 112.13 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.

CATO manufactures 3-Hexene-2,5-dione 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.
