Chemical Structure

4-butoxy-2-hydroxybenzoic acid CAS 29264-27-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 4-butoxy-2-hydroxybenzoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 210.23 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).

4-butoxy-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (CAS 29264-27-5), molecular formula C11H14O4 and molecular weight 210.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

CATO manufactures 4-butoxy-2-hydroxybenzoic acid 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.
