Chemical Structure

(2E,4Z)-5-Phenylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid CAS 38446-98-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 174.20 g/mol gives (2E,4Z)-5-Phenylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies (2E,4Z)-5-Phenylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid (CAS 38446-98-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10O2, MW 174.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (2E,4Z)-5-Phenylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 174.20 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2E,4Z)-5-Phenylpenta-2,4-dienoic 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.
