Chemical Structure

4-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-butanone CAS 6302-60-9 chemical structure

Description

4-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-butanone (C12H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

4-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-butanone (CAS 6302-60-9), molecular formula C12H16O3 and molecular weight 208.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-butanone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
