Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 178.18 g/mol gives Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylacrylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylacrylate (CAS 80540-55-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H10O3, MW 178.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylacrylate (C10H10O3) 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO manufactures Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylacrylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
