Chemical Structure

(2E)-3-(2-cyanophenyl)prop-2-enoic acid CAS 2886-29-5 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 (2E)-3-(2-cyanophenyl)prop-2-enoic acid.

(2E)-3-(2-cyanophenyl)prop-2-enoic acid (CAS 2886-29-5), molecular formula C10H7NO2 and molecular weight 173.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (2E)-3-(2-cyanophenyl)prop-2-enoic acid (C10H7NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 173.17 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2E)-3-(2-cyanophenyl)prop-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.
