4-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-6-methylenecyclohexyl)but-3-en-2-one CAS 79-68-5 chemical structure

Description

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

4-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-6-methylenecyclohexyl)but-3-en-2-one (CAS 79-68-5), molecular formula C14H22O and molecular weight 206.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 4-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-6-methylenecyclohexyl)but-3-en-2-one is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 206.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
