Chemical Structure

(E)-4-(4-isopropylphenyl)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid CAS 58897-58-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

(E)-4-(4-isopropylphenyl)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (CAS 58897-58-8), molecular formula C13H14O3 and molecular weight 218.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (E)-4-(4-isopropylphenyl)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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