Chemical Structure

(2e)-3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)but-2-enoic acid CAS 376346-53-1 chemical structure

Description

(2e)-3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)but-2-enoic acid (C11H12O3) 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

(2e)-3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)but-2-enoic acid (CAS 376346-53-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H12O3 and a molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2e)-3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)but-2-enoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
