Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 175.18 g/mol gives 2-Cyano-3-phenylpropionic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Cyano-3-phenylpropionic Acid (CAS 5331-42-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H9NO2, MW 175.18 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, 2-Cyano-3-phenylpropionic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 175.18 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.
CATO manufactures 2-Cyano-3-phenylpropionic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
