Chemical Structure

3-[2-(4-Methylphenoxy)phenyl]acrylic acid CAS 1164477-18-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 254.28 g/mol gives 3-[2-(4-Methylphenoxy)phenyl]acrylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-[2-(4-Methylphenoxy)phenyl]acrylic acid (CAS 1164477-18-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H14O3 and a molecular weight of 254.28 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-[2-(4-Methylphenoxy)phenyl]acrylic acid (C16H14O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic 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.

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-(4-Methylphenoxy)phenyl]acrylic 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.
