Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)acrylate CAS 409359-86-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)acrylate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)acrylate (CAS 409359-86-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H11NO2, MW 201.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)acrylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 201.22 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), Ethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)acrylate 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.
