The occurrence of 4-((4-(2-Chlorophenoxy)phenyl)amino)-4-oxobutanoic acid is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
4-((4-(2-Chlorophenoxy)phenyl)amino)-4-oxobutanoic acid (CAS 667446-82-4), molecular formula C16H14ClNO4 and molecular weight 319.74 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
4-((4-(2-Chlorophenoxy)phenyl)amino)-4-oxobutanoic acid (C16H14ClNO4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-((4-(2-Chlorophenoxy)phenyl)amino)-4-oxobutanoic acid 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.
