Chemical Structure

3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid CAS CATO-C3D-262203 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 242.27 g/mol gives 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (CAS CATO-C3D-262203), molecular formula C15H14O3 and molecular weight 242.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (C15H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
