Chemical Structure

3-(Benzyloxy)butan-2-ol CAS 77312-73-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(Benzyloxy)butan-2-ol 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.

3-(Benzyloxy)butan-2-ol (CAS 77312-73-3), molecular formula C11H16O2 and molecular weight 180.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C11H16O2, 3-(Benzyloxy)butan-2-ol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 180.24 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
