Chemical Structure
Description
The molecular framework of Ethyl (E)-3-(4-methoxy-3-methylphenyl)acrylate (C13H16O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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).
Ethyl (E)-3-(4-methoxy-3-methylphenyl)acrylate (CAS 178676-97-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H16O3 and a molecular weight of 220.26 g/mol.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
