Chemical Structure

5-Methyl-2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)hex-4-enoic acid CAS 497-67-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5-Methyl-2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)hex-4-enoic acid.

CATO supplies 5-Methyl-2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)hex-4-enoic acid (CAS 497-67-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H16O2, MW 168.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C10H16O2, 5-Methyl-2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)hex-4-enoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 168.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
