Chemical Structure

Butanoic acid, 4-(3-acetylphenoxy)-, ethyl ester CAS 756485-01-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Butanoic acid, 4-(3-acetylphenoxy)-, ethyl ester (C14H18O4) 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 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).

Butanoic acid, 4-(3-acetylphenoxy)-, ethyl ester (CAS 756485-01-5), molecular formula C14H18O4 and molecular weight 250.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

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.
