Chemical Structure

3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)butan-2-one CAS 4156-24-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)butan-2-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)butan-2-one (CAS 4156-24-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H16O3 and a molecular weight of 208.25 g/mol.

3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)butan-2-one (C12H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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