Chemical Structure

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate CAS 103-11-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (CAS 103-11-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H20O2 and a molecular weight of 184.28 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C11H20O2, 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 184.28 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
