Chemical Structure

(E/Z)-Methyl 3-(p-tolyl)acrylate CAS 7560-43-2 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), (E/Z)-Methyl 3-(p-tolyl)acrylate 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.

CATO supplies (E/Z)-Methyl 3-(p-tolyl)acrylate (CAS 7560-43-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H12O2, MW 176.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (E/Z)-Methyl 3-(p-tolyl)acrylate (C11H12O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
