Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-vinyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylate CAS 887578-12-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 3-vinyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylate.

Methyl 3-vinyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylate (CAS 887578-12-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H14O2 and a molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl 3-vinyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

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.
