Chemical Structure

Methyl (E)-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate CAS 116406-20-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl (E)-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl (E)-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate (CAS 116406-20-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14O4, MW 222.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl (E)-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate (C12H14O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl (E)-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
