The occurrence of (2E,6Z)-2,6-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienedial is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(2E,6Z)-2,6-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienedial (CAS 80054-41-7), molecular formula C10H14O2 and molecular weight 166.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (2E,6Z)-2,6-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienedial is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 166.22 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).
