Chemical Structure

4-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)butyric Acid CAS 70217-89-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)butyric Acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)butyric Acid (CAS 70217-89-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12O4 and a molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol.

Structurally, 4-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)butyric Acid (C10H12O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures 4-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)butyric Acid 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.
