n-Heptyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, min. 95 %, 250 g

n-Heptyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is an aromatic ester biochemical supplied at a minimum purity of 95 %, with CAS number 1085-12-7 and empirical formula C₁₄H₂₀O₃. Its molar mass is 236,31 g/mol, supporting accurate stoichiometric work in synthesis, formulation studies, and analytical reference applications. This alkyl 4-hydroxybenzoate structure is of interest in research on phenolic esters, preservative-related chemistry, and structure–activity comparisons within the paraben family and related hydroxybenzoate derivatives. Physical handling benefits from the defined molecular identity and the stated minimum assay, enabling reproducible preparation of stock solutions and reaction mixtures. Sourced from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product fits biochemical and organic chemistry workflows that demand clear CAS-linked identity and consistent quality. Researchers working in natural-product analogue chemistry, materials screening, or fine-chemical synthesis can integrate this heptyl ester into multi-step sequences or analytical standards without ambiguity over composition. The combination of documented molar mass, empirical formula, and pack quantity supports inventory planning and documentation in regulated or quality-controlled laboratory environments.
