Chemical Structure

(E)-Methyl 3-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate CAS 1187248-43-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (E)-Methyl 3-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate.

CATO supplies (E)-Methyl 3-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate (CAS 1187248-43-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H11ClO3, MW 226.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (E)-Methyl 3-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate (C11H11ClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 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 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.
