(2E)-1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one CAS 6552-67-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2E)-1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(2E)-1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CAS 6552-67-6), molecular formula C16H13NO4 and molecular weight 283.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2E)-1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 283.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), (2E)-1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one 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.
