Chemical Structure

(2E)-1-(4-Methylphenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one CAS 940291-94-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies (2E)-1-(4-Methylphenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CAS 940291-94-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C19H20O4, MW 312.36 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(2E)-1-(4-Methylphenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (C19H20O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
