Chemical Structure

(E)-6-Methoxy-6-oxohex-4-enoic acid CAS 86606-07-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (E)-6-Methoxy-6-oxohex-4-enoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(E)-6-Methoxy-6-oxohex-4-enoic acid (CAS 86606-07-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H10O4 and a molecular weight of 158.15 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (E)-6-Methoxy-6-oxohex-4-enoic acid (C7H10O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (E)-6-Methoxy-6-oxohex-4-enoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
