Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate CAS 126716-40-3 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate (C12H11NO4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 233.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate (CAS 126716-40-3), molecular formula C12H11NO4 and molecular weight 233.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
