Chemical Structure

(E)-Hex-4-en-3-one CAS 50396-87-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (E)-Hex-4-en-3-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (E)-Hex-4-en-3-one (CAS 50396-87-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H10O, MW 98.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (E)-Hex-4-en-3-one is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 98.14 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.
