Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 4-(Cyanomethyl)cinnamate CAS 120225-74-3 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 tert-Butyl 4-(Cyanomethyl)cinnamate.

CATO supplies tert-Butyl 4-(Cyanomethyl)cinnamate (CAS 120225-74-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H17NO2, MW 243.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of tert-Butyl 4-(Cyanomethyl)cinnamate (C15H17NO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

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.
