Chemical Structure

3-(4-phenylphenoxy)propanoic acid CAS 63472-21-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 242.27 g/mol gives 3-(4-phenylphenoxy)propanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-(4-phenylphenoxy)propanoic acid (CAS 63472-21-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H14O3, MW 242.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-(4-phenylphenoxy)propanoic acid (C15H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 242.27 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(4-phenylphenoxy)propanoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
