5-Hexyl Resorcinol CAS 5465-20-3 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-Hexyl Resorcinol.

5-Hexyl Resorcinol (CAS 5465-20-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H16N2O5 and a molecular weight of 316.31 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H16N2O5, 5-Hexyl Resorcinol contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 316.31 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures 5-Hexyl Resorcinol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
