5,5-Dimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl 4-methylbenzoate CAS 477854-95-8 chemical structure

Description

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

5,5-Dimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl 4-methylbenzoate (CAS 477854-95-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H18O3 and a molecular weight of 258.31 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 5,5-Dimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl 4-methylbenzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5,5-Dimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl 4-methylbenzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
