Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-1-hexylcyclohexane (cis + trans) CAS 52886-35-8 chemical structure

Description

3-Methyl-1-hexylcyclohexane (cis + trans) (CAS 52886-35-8), molecular formula C13H26 and molecular weight 182.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an organic framework, 3-Methyl-1-hexylcyclohexane (cis + trans) is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 182.35 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Methyl-1-hexylcyclohexane (cis + trans) 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.
