(E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)but-2-enoic acid CAS 90772-57-9 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 (E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)but-2-enoic acid.

(E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)but-2-enoic acid (CAS 90772-57-9), molecular formula C10H9BrO2 and molecular weight 241.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)but-2-enoic acid (C10H9BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 241.08 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)but-2-enoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
