Chemical Structure

1,4-Diacetoxy-2-butene CAS 18621-75-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,4-Diacetoxy-2-butene is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1,4-Diacetoxy-2-butene (CAS 18621-75-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H12O4 and a molecular weight of 172.18 g/mol.

Structurally, 1,4-Diacetoxy-2-butene (C8H12O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 172.18 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).

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), 1,4-Diacetoxy-2-butene 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.
