Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 144.21 g/mol gives 4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)cyclohexanol (cis- and trans- mixture) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)cyclohexanol (cis- and trans- mixture) (CAS 74058-21-2), molecular formula C8H16O2 and molecular weight 144.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)cyclohexanol (cis- and trans- mixture) is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 144.21 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.
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.
