Chemical Structure

3-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-propynone CAS 20442-66-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-propynone is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-propynone (CAS 20442-66-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12O2, MW 236.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-propynone (C16H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 3-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-propynone 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.
