Chemical Structure

4-Oxo-4-(m-tolylamino)but-2-enoic acid CAS 54012-55-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 4-Oxo-4-(m-tolylamino)but-2-enoic 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.

4-Oxo-4-(m-tolylamino)but-2-enoic acid (CAS 54012-55-4), molecular formula C11H11NO3 and molecular weight 205.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Oxo-4-(m-tolylamino)but-2-enoic acid (C11H11NO3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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