Chemical Structure

1-Hydroxyhexan-2-one CAS 73397-68-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-Hydroxyhexan-2-one.

1-Hydroxyhexan-2-one (CAS 73397-68-9), molecular formula C6H12O2 and molecular weight 116.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-Hydroxyhexan-2-one is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 116.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Hydroxyhexan-2-one 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.
