Chemical Structure

6-Hydroxydecan-5-one CAS 6540-98-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-Hydroxydecan-5-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.26 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.

6-Hydroxydecan-5-one (CAS 6540-98-3), molecular formula C10H20O2 and molecular weight 172.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

CATO manufactures 6-Hydroxydecan-5-one under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
