Chemical Structure

4-(4-Difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-butan-2-one CAS 733044-93-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(4-Difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-butan-2-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-(4-Difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-butan-2-one (CAS 733044-93-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H12F2O2, MW 214.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4-(4-Difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-butan-2-one (C11H12F2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 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 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).

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