Chemical Structure

(E)-3-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylic acid CAS 32022-22-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (E)-3-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(E)-3-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylic acid (CAS 32022-22-3), molecular formula C13H16O4 and molecular weight 236.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(E)-3-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylic acid (C13H16O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
