4-(2,2-Dimethyl-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)butanoic acid (CAS 6266-61-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16O4 and a molecular weight of 200.23 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-(2,2-Dimethyl-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)butanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 200.23 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).
