Chemical Structure

4-(4-Butylphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoic acid CAS 951893-41-7 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C16H22O3, 4-(4-Butylphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoic acid 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 262.34 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

4-(4-Butylphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoic acid (CAS 951893-41-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H22O3 and a molecular weight of 262.34 g/mol.

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.
