Chemical Structure

Pentyl 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylate CAS 122991-46-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Pentyl 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Pentyl 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylate (CAS 122991-46-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H20O4, MW 264.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Pentyl 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylate (C15H20O4) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
