Chemical Structure

2-(4,4-Dimethylcyclohexylidene)acetic acid CAS 794520-18-6 chemical structure

Description

2-(4,4-Dimethylcyclohexylidene)acetic acid (CAS 794520-18-6), molecular formula C10H16O2 and molecular weight 168.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H16O2, 2-(4,4-Dimethylcyclohexylidene)acetic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 168.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
