CATO manufactures Methyl (Z)-4-hydroxy-4-mesityl-2-oxobut-3-enoate 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.
CATO supplies Methyl (Z)-4-hydroxy-4-mesityl-2-oxobut-3-enoate (CAS 39847-94-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H16O4, MW 248.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Methyl (Z)-4-hydroxy-4-mesityl-2-oxobut-3-enoate (C14H16O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
