Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-Cyano-3-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylate CAS 103457-26-7 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-Cyano-3-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylate (CAS 103457-26-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H10FNO2 and a molecular weight of 219.21 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Ethyl 2-Cyano-3-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 219.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-Cyano-3-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
