Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate CAS 4547-43-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 146.18 g/mol gives Methyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate (CAS 4547-43-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H14O3 and a molecular weight of 146.18 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 146.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.

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.
