The occurrence of Ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-oxocyclohex-2-enecarboxylate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-oxocyclohex-2-enecarboxylate (CAS 6102-15-4), molecular formula C11H16O3 and molecular weight 196.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-oxocyclohex-2-enecarboxylate (C11H16O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
