Chemical Structure

(2E)-1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one CAS 1181653-37-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2E)-1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(2E)-1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CAS 1181653-37-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H13FO and a molecular weight of 240.27 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, (2E)-1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 240.27 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).

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.

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.
