Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxyhexan-2-one CAS 54123-75-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 3-Hydroxyhexan-2-one (CAS 54123-75-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12O2, MW 116.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Hydroxyhexan-2-one is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 116.16 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.
