Chemical Structure

4-Oxo-4-(4-pentylphenyl)butanoic acid CAS 64779-07-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-Oxo-4-(4-pentylphenyl)butanoic acid.

4-Oxo-4-(4-pentylphenyl)butanoic acid (CAS 64779-07-3), molecular formula C15H20O3 and molecular weight 248.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Oxo-4-(4-pentylphenyl)butanoic acid (C15H20O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

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.
