Chemical Structure

3-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one CAS 18778-37-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CAS 18778-37-5), molecular formula C17H16O4 and molecular weight 284.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 284.31 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).
