Chemical Structure

4-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid CAS 103324-16-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 180.20 g/mol gives 4-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 4-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid (CAS 103324-16-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O3, MW 180.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid (C10H12O3) 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 its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 4-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
