The molecular framework of Ethyl (E)-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acrylate (C12H11F3O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Ethyl (E)-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acrylate (CAS 376641-48-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H11F3O2 and a molecular weight of 244.21 g/mol.
