Chemical Structure

1-(4-Butoxyphenyl)propan-1-one CAS 5736-90-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(4-Butoxyphenyl)propan-1-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.

1-(4-Butoxyphenyl)propan-1-one (CAS 5736-90-3), molecular formula C13H18O2 and molecular weight 206.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1-(4-Butoxyphenyl)propan-1-one (C13H18O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 206.28 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
