Chemical Structure

4-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-butanone CAS 7774-79-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 4-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-butanone (CAS 7774-79-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O, MW 162.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 4-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-butanone is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-butanone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
