Chemical Structure

7-Oxododec-11-enoic acid CAS 54921-60-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 212.29 g/mol gives 7-Oxododec-11-enoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

7-Oxododec-11-enoic acid (CAS 54921-60-7), molecular formula C12H20O3 and molecular weight 212.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

7-Oxododec-11-enoic acid (C12H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 7-Oxododec-11-enoic acid 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.
