Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate CAS 14563-40-7 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (CAS 14563-40-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H16O5 and a molecular weight of 252.26 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (C13H16O5) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
