Chemical Structure

2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenoxy)butanoic acid CAS 113104-28-2 chemical structure

Description

2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenoxy)butanoic acid (C14H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenoxy)butanoic acid (CAS 113104-28-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H20O3 and a molecular weight of 236.31 g/mol.

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.
