Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-methyl-2-oxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate CAS 6134-75-4 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 5-methyl-2-oxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate (CAS 6134-75-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16O3 and a molecular weight of 184.23 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 5-methyl-2-oxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 5-methyl-2-oxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate 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.
