Chemical Structure

(E)-4-Oxobut-2-en-1-yl benzoate CAS 118017-13-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (E)-4-Oxobut-2-en-1-yl benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (E)-4-Oxobut-2-en-1-yl benzoate (CAS 118017-13-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10O3, MW 190.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, (E)-4-Oxobut-2-en-1-yl benzoate (C11H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 190.20 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).
