Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 260.33 g/mol gives (1R,2S)-2-(2-oxo-2-(m-tolyl)ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(1R,2S)-2-(2-oxo-2-(m-tolyl)ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (CAS 735274-71-2), molecular formula C16H20O3 and molecular weight 260.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, (1R,2S)-2-(2-oxo-2-(m-tolyl)ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 260.33 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.
