Chemical Structure

(4-Pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-acetic acid CAS 55397-08-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-acetic acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (4-Pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-acetic acid (CAS 55397-08-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H11NO2, MW 213.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(4-Pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-acetic acid (C13H11NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
