Chemical Structure

α-Methylene-γ-butyrolactone (stabilized with 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) CAS 547-65-9 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, α-Methylene-γ-butyrolactone (stabilized with 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 98.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

α-Methylene-γ-butyrolactone (stabilized with 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) (CAS 547-65-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H6O2 and a molecular weight of 98.10 g/mol.

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