Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ethyl 6-(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxohexanoate.
CATO supplies Ethyl 6-(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxohexanoate (CAS 898751-06-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H24O4, MW 292.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Ethyl 6-(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxohexanoate (C17H24O4) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
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.
