As a certified reference material (CRM), (E)-4-chlorobut-2-enoic 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.
(E)-4-chlorobut-2-enoic acid (CAS 26340-58-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H5ClO2 and a molecular weight of 120.53 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, (E)-4-chlorobut-2-enoic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 120.53 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
