3-Hydroxyhexanal CAS 96013-98-8

Identity and physicochemical profile

Applications and grade selection

3-Hydroxyhexanal may be evaluated in controlled aldol chemistry, functional-group conversion and specialty-intermediate synthesis. Its aldehyde and beta-hydroxy functionality can make reaction and storage behavior condition-dependent, so broad claims about fragrance, polymer or biochemical use should not replace project-specific qualification.

• Define the required identity technique, chromatographic method, assay and route-critical impurity limits.
• Check conversion, selectivity and impurity development in the buyer’s actual reaction rather than relying on a CAS match alone.
• Confirm the physical form, package size, temperature and shipment conditions before ordering.

Storage and handling

Keep the supplied container tightly closed under the temperature, light and atmosphere conditions stated in the current documentation. Minimize unnecessary opening and follow the lot-specific instructions for equilibration, sampling and use.

Safety, documentation and procurement

Handle as a reactive research intermediate using suitable gloves, eye protection and ventilation according to the current SDS and site assessment. A quotation should include the intended reaction, required methods and limits, quantity, packaging, destination and documentation.
