The occurrence of 2-cyanohex-2-enoic acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-cyanohex-2-enoic acid (CAS 869-00-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H9NO2 and a molecular weight of 139.15 g/mol.
Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-cyanohex-2-enoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 139.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
