Chemical Structure

4,4'-Bis((E)-4-methoxystyryl)-2,2'-bipyridine CAS 166827-53-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4,4'-Bis((E)-4-methoxystyryl)-2,2'-bipyridine is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4,4'-Bis((E)-4-methoxystyryl)-2,2'-bipyridine (CAS 166827-53-8), molecular formula C28H24N2O2 and molecular weight 420.50 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4,4'-Bis((E)-4-methoxystyryl)-2,2'-bipyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 420.50 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 4,4'-Bis((E)-4-methoxystyryl)-2,2'-bipyridine 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.
