Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate CAS 20583-78-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 236.26 g/mol gives Ethyl 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate (CAS 20583-78-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H16O4 and a molecular weight of 236.26 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C13H16O4, Ethyl 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 236.26 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), Ethyl 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate 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.
