Chemical Structure

6-(4-heptyloxyphenyl)-6-oxohexanoic acid CAS 898792-37-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-(4-heptyloxyphenyl)-6-oxohexanoic acid 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.

6-(4-heptyloxyphenyl)-6-oxohexanoic acid (CAS 898792-37-5), molecular formula C16H22O5 and molecular weight 294.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 6-(4-heptyloxyphenyl)-6-oxohexanoic acid (C16H22O5) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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.

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.
