Chemical Structure

4-[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]butanoic acid CAS 1094693-27-2 chemical structure

Description

4-[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]butanoic acid (CAS 1094693-27-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H18O4 and a molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]butanoic acid (C13H18O4) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures 4-[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]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.
