Chemical Structure

Sodium (E)-4-(dodecyloxy)-4-oxobut-2-enoate CAS 68498-23-7 chemical structure

Description

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

Sodium (E)-4-(dodecyloxy)-4-oxobut-2-enoate (CAS 68498-23-7), molecular formula C16H27O4Na and molecular weight 306.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Sodium (E)-4-(dodecyloxy)-4-oxobut-2-enoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 306.38 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).

CATO manufactures Sodium (E)-4-(dodecyloxy)-4-oxobut-2-enoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
