Chemical Structure

Hexanal CAS 66-25-1 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C6H12O, Hexanal contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 100.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

Hexanal (CAS 66-25-1), molecular formula C6H12O and molecular weight 100.16 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.

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.
