Chemical Structure

(Z)-2-Styrylbenzoic acid CAS 66374-10-5 chemical structure

Description

(Z)-2-Styrylbenzoic acid (CAS 66374-10-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H12O2 and a molecular weight of 224.25 g/mol.

Structurally, (Z)-2-Styrylbenzoic acid (C15H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 224.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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), (Z)-2-Styrylbenzoic 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.
