Chemical Structure

3-{5-chloro-2-[(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl}prop-2-enoic acid CAS 938278-28-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 3-{5-chloro-2-[(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl}prop-2-enoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 306.72 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).
