Chemical Structure

2-Phenylpropionic anhydride CAS 57780-74-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Phenylpropionic anhydride is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Phenylpropionic anhydride (CAS 57780-74-2), molecular formula C18H18O3 and molecular weight 282.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C18H18O3, 2-Phenylpropionic anhydride contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 282.33 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures 2-Phenylpropionic anhydride 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.
