(2E)-3-(2-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one CAS 358656-32-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2E)-3-(2-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(2E)-3-(2-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CAS 358656-32-3), molecular formula C18H18O3 and molecular weight 282.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (2E)-3-(2-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (C18H18O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 282.33 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
