Chemical Structure

4-(Phenylethynyl)phthalic acid CAS 219537-88-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(Phenylethynyl)phthalic acid is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-(Phenylethynyl)phthalic acid (CAS 219537-88-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H10O4, MW 266.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 4-(Phenylethynyl)phthalic acid (C16H10O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 266.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), 4-(Phenylethynyl)phthalic 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.
