CATO supplies 3-(2,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CAS 36685-67-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H18O5, MW 314.33 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(2,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 314.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
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.
