Chemical Structure

4-Oxooctanoic acid CAS 4316-44-3 chemical structure

Description

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

4-Oxooctanoic acid (CAS 4316-44-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H14O3 and a molecular weight of 158.19 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H14O3, 4-Oxooctanoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 158.19 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
