Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol gives Ethyl 3-hydroxy-2-phenylacrylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Ethyl 3-hydroxy-2-phenylacrylate (CAS 76636-17-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H12O3 and a molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol.
Ethyl 3-hydroxy-2-phenylacrylate (C11H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
