Chemical Structure

(Z)-3-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)acrylic acid CAS 20595-46-4 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (Z)-3-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)acrylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 217.05 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

(Z)-3-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)acrylic acid (CAS 20595-46-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H6Cl2O2 and a molecular weight of 217.05 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (Z)-3-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)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.
