Chemical Structure

3-(4-((3-Methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)acrylic acid CAS 938247-81-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(4-((3-Methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)acrylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.31 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).
