Chemical Structure

(E)-3-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acrylic acid CAS 127791-54-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (E)-3-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acrylic acid (CAS 127791-54-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8O4, MW 180.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (E)-3-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acrylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures (E)-3-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acrylic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
