Chemical Structure

Ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-phenylbut-2-enoate CAS 14533-92-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-phenylbut-2-enoate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-phenylbut-2-enoate (CAS 14533-92-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H13NO2, MW 215.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-phenylbut-2-enoate (C13H13NO2) 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 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-phenylbut-2-enoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
