Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-2-oxobutanoate CAS 90107-26-9 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 3-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-2-oxobutanoate (C11H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies Methyl 3-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-2-oxobutanoate (CAS 90107-26-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H16O3, MW 196.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
