4-Hydroxybenzoic Acid-N-Heptyl Ester CAS 1085-12-7 chemical structure

Description

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

4-Hydroxybenzoic Acid-N-Heptyl Ester (CAS 1085-12-7), molecular formula C14H20O3 and molecular weight 236.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-Hydroxybenzoic Acid-N-Heptyl Ester (C14H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 236.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
