Chemical Structure

Ethyl 6-oxo-6-(4-isopropoxyphenyl)hexanoate CAS 898757-73-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

Ethyl 6-oxo-6-(4-isopropoxyphenyl)hexanoate (CAS 898757-73-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H24O4 and a molecular weight of 292.37 g/mol.

Ethyl 6-oxo-6-(4-isopropoxyphenyl)hexanoate (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 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.
