Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-[2-(2,3,6-trimethylphenoxy)phenyl]prop-2-enoic acid.
3-[2-(2,3,6-trimethylphenoxy)phenyl]prop-2-enoic acid (CAS 1097780-66-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H18O3 and a molecular weight of 282.33 g/mol.
3-[2-(2,3,6-trimethylphenoxy)phenyl]prop-2-enoic acid (C18H18O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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 3-[2-(2,3,6-trimethylphenoxy)phenyl]prop-2-enoic 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.
