Chemical Structure

(5E)-6-Phenyl-5-hexene-2,4-dione CAS 58369-46-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (5E)-6-Phenyl-5-hexene-2,4-dione (CAS 58369-46-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H12O2, MW 188.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(5E)-6-Phenyl-5-hexene-2,4-dione (C12H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

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.
