Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate CAS 70311-75-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate (CAS 70311-75-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H14O6, MW 266.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate (C13H14O6) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
