Chemical Structure

(Z)-Ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4-phenylbut-2-enoate CAS 88330-79-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (Z)-Ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4-phenylbut-2-enoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(Z)-Ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4-phenylbut-2-enoate (CAS 88330-79-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H12O4 and a molecular weight of 220.22 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (Z)-Ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4-phenylbut-2-enoate (C12H12O4) 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
