Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-ethyl-3-oxohexanoate CAS 91007-16-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 186.25 g/mol gives Ethyl 4-ethyl-3-oxohexanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 4-ethyl-3-oxohexanoate (CAS 91007-16-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H18O3 and a molecular weight of 186.25 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C10H18O3, Ethyl 4-ethyl-3-oxohexanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 186.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Ethyl 4-ethyl-3-oxohexanoate 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.
