Methyl (E)-3-(m-tolyl)acrylate CAS 82444-40-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methyl (E)-3-(m-tolyl)acrylate 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.

Methyl (E)-3-(m-tolyl)acrylate (CAS 82444-40-4), molecular formula C11H12O2 and molecular weight 176.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl (E)-3-(m-tolyl)acrylate (C11H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 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).

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