Chemical Structure

Methyl (2E)-4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-4-oxobut-2-enoate CAS 32149-25-0 chemical structure

Description

Methyl (2E)-4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-4-oxobut-2-enoate (C11H9FO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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).
