Chemical Structure

2-Cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylic Acid CAS 10380-41-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylic Acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylic Acid (CAS 10380-41-3), molecular formula C16H11NO2 and molecular weight 249.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylic Acid (C16H11NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 249.26 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-Cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylic Acid 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.
