Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 258.40 g/mol gives (3,6-dimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexa-1,3-dien-1-yl)methanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(3,6-dimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexa-1,3-dien-1-yl)methanone (CAS CATO-C3D-262389), molecular formula C18H26O and molecular weight 258.40 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (3,6-dimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexa-1,3-dien-1-yl)methanone (C18H26O) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
