Chemical Structure

Butyl 4-chlorobutanoate CAS 3153-33-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Butyl 4-chlorobutanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Butyl 4-chlorobutanoate (CAS 3153-33-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H15ClO2 and a molecular weight of 178.66 g/mol.

Structurally, Butyl 4-chlorobutanoate (C8H15ClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 178.66 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Butyl 4-chlorobutanoate 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.
