Chemical Structure

Methyl (E)-3-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)acrylate CAS 189696-53-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol gives Methyl (E)-3-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)acrylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl (E)-3-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)acrylate (CAS 189696-53-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H14O2, MW 238.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl (E)-3-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)acrylate (C16H14O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
