Chemical Structure

4-((3-Methoxyphenyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid CAS 31460-27-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-((3-Methoxyphenyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-((3-Methoxyphenyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (CAS 31460-27-2), molecular formula C11H11NO4 and molecular weight 221.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-((3-Methoxyphenyl)amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (C11H11NO4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 4-((3-Methoxyphenyl)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.
