Chemical Structure

4-[3-(Methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]benzaldehyde CAS 281234-49-9 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C15H12O3, 4-[3-(Methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]benzaldehyde contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 240.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
