Chemical Structure

(2E)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylonitrile CAS 72030-11-6 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.

(2E)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylonitrile (CAS 72030-11-6), molecular formula C16H12ClNO and molecular weight 269.73 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, (2E)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.73 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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