Chemical Structure

Benzyl 4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate CAS 242486-38-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol gives Benzyl 4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Benzyl 4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 242486-38-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14O4 and a molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Benzyl 4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

CATO manufactures Benzyl 4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
