Chemical Structure

2-Phenylethyl Propionate CAS 122-70-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 178.23 g/mol gives 2-Phenylethyl Propionate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Phenylethyl Propionate (CAS 122-70-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H14O2 and a molecular weight of 178.23 g/mol.

2-Phenylethyl Propionate (C11H14O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
