Chemical Structure

(2E)-4-[(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)amino]-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid CAS 198220-55-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures (2E)-4-[(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)amino]-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid 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.

(2E)-4-[(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)amino]-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (CAS 198220-55-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H13NO3 and a molecular weight of 219.24 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2E)-4-[(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)amino]-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 219.24 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.

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.
