(Z)-4-((5-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid CAS 208663-08-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (Z)-4-((5-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid.

(Z)-4-((5-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (CAS 208663-08-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H10ClNO3 and a molecular weight of 239.66 g/mol.

(Z)-4-((5-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (C11H10ClNO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 (Z)-4-((5-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)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.
