Chemical Structure

4-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)but-3-en-2-one CAS 500902-78-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)but-3-en-2-one (CAS 500902-78-3), molecular formula C12H14O2 and molecular weight 190.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C12H14O2, 4-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)but-3-en-2-one contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 190.24 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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