Chemical Structure

(5E,6Z)-5,6-Bis(2,2-dimethylpropylidene)decane CAS 55712-56-6 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies (5E,6Z)-5,6-Bis(2,2-dimethylpropylidene)decane (CAS 55712-56-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H38, MW 278.52 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an organic framework, (5E,6Z)-5,6-Bis(2,2-dimethylpropylidene)decane is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 278.52 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.

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.
