Chemical Structure

(2E)-3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one CAS 1696383-53-5 chemical structure

Description

(2E)-3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CAS 1696383-53-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H16O2 and a molecular weight of 252.31 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2E)-3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 252.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures (2E)-3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one 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.
