Chemical Structure

N-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)-3-oxobutyramide CAS 97-36-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)-3-oxobutyramide is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies N-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)-3-oxobutyramide (CAS 97-36-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H15NO2, MW 205.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

N-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)-3-oxobutyramide (C12H15NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

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.
