Methyl 4-(4-(benzyloxy)-3-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoate CAS 1993667-06-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 4-(4-(benzyloxy)-3-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoate is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 4-(4-(benzyloxy)-3-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoate (CAS 1993667-06-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C19H18O5 and a molecular weight of 326.34 g/mol.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 4-(4-(benzyloxy)-3-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 326.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
