Chemical Structure

4-(Nonyloxy)benzoic acid CAS 15872-43-2 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-(Nonyloxy)benzoic acid (C16H24O3) 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 264.36 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

4-(Nonyloxy)benzoic acid (CAS 15872-43-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H24O3 and a molecular weight of 264.36 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.
