Methyl 4-methylazulene-1-carboxylate, CAS 1461-80-9, is a defined azulene ester with formula C₁₃H₁₂O₂ and molecular weight 200.24 g/mol. Because public physical-property data are limited, purchasing should focus on defensible identity and lot analysis rather than predicted boiling, storage or biological claims. Buyers should specify HPLC assay, positional isomers, unesterified acid, residual solvents, water, color and spectroscopic confirmation.

Product Description
Identity and specification
| Item | Verified purchasing information |
|---|---|
| Product | Methyl 4-methylazulene-1-carboxylate |
| CAS | 1461-80-9 |
| Formula / molecular weight | C₁₃H₁₂O₂ / 200.24 g/mol |
| Critical selection point | Azulene substitution pattern and ester identity |
Methyl 4-methylazulene-1-carboxylate has a methyl substituent at position 4 and a methyl carboxylate at position 1 of the azulene framework. Positional identity should be confirmed by appropriate chromatography and spectroscopy.
Quality controls for purchasing
- Request HPLC or GC assay with limits for positional isomers and unknown related substances.
- Control unesterified carboxylic acid, hydrolysis products, residual solvents and water.
- Confirm color, appearance and spectral identity against an approved reference or method.
Applications and grade selection
This azulene ester may be evaluated as a research compound or fine-chemical building block in controlled synthesis and materials studies. Suitability, optical behavior and downstream performance require experimental verification; broad biological or semiconductor claims should not be assumed.
Storage and handling
Use a dry, tightly sealed, light-protective package under the supplier-documented temperature. Avoid strong oxidizers, acids, bases and prolonged light exposure. Retest conditions should be based on actual stability data rather than unsupported predictions.
Documentation and quotation details
Provide the exact name and CAS, assay and impurity limits, water and solvent requirements, quantity, packaging, destination and schedule. Request COA, SDS, spectra and a sample when positional identity or color is critical.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

Q:
How should Methyl 4-methylazulene-1-carboxylate be identified and specified?
A: Match CAS 1461-80-9 to the ester at the azulene 1-position and the methyl substituent at the 4-position. Because public physical-property data are limited, define HPLC assay, positional isomers, unesterified acid, residual solvents, water, color and spectroscopic identity instead of relying on predicted properties.
