Chemical Structure

(E)-3-(2,4-Dihydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one CAS 104236-73-9 chemical structure

Description

(E)-3-(2,4-Dihydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (CAS 104236-73-9), molecular formula C16H14O4 and molecular weight 270.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (E)-3-(2,4-Dihydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 270.28 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).

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
