Chemical Structure

Ethyl (E)-3-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate CAS 2172612-56-3 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 Ethyl (E)-3-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate.

Ethyl (E)-3-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate (CAS 2172612-56-3), molecular formula C14H18O4 and molecular weight 250.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl (E)-3-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate (C14H18O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 250.29 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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 Ethyl (E)-3-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate 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.
