Chemical Structure

(E)-3-(Anthracen-9-yl)acrylic acid CAS 202998-44-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 248.28 g/mol gives (E)-3-(Anthracen-9-yl)acrylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies (E)-3-(Anthracen-9-yl)acrylic acid (CAS 202998-44-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H12O2, MW 248.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C17H12O2, (E)-3-(Anthracen-9-yl)acrylic acid contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 248.28 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (E)-3-(Anthracen-9-yl)acrylic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
