Chemical Structure

(R)-2-Hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic Acid CAS 89919-57-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (R)-2-Hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic Acid 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.

(R)-2-Hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic Acid (CAS 89919-57-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H10O4 and a molecular weight of 182.17 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (R)-2-Hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 182.17 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).
