Chemical Structure

4-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoic acid CAS 89224-21-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoic acid.

CATO supplies 4-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoic acid (CAS 89224-21-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H20O3, MW 236.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 4-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoic acid (C14H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 236.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoic acid 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.
