4-Oxo-4-(4-isopropoxyphenyl)butyric acid CAS 91121-67-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 4-Oxo-4-(4-isopropoxyphenyl)butyric acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 4-Oxo-4-(4-isopropoxyphenyl)butyric acid (CAS 91121-67-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H16O4, MW 236.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4-Oxo-4-(4-isopropoxyphenyl)butyric acid (C13H16O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
