Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 190.24 g/mol gives (E)-2-Methyl-3-(p-tolyl)but-2-enoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies (E)-2-Methyl-3-(p-tolyl)but-2-enoic acid (CAS 61712-17-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14O2, MW 190.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
(E)-2-Methyl-3-(p-tolyl)but-2-enoic acid (C12H14O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
