Methyl 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate (CAS 59373-32-9), molecular formula C10H14O4 and molecular weight 198.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Methyl 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate (C10H14O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 198.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
