Chemical Structure

tert-butyl (E)-3-(2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)acrylate CAS CATO-C4X-167122 chemical structure

Description

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.

tert-butyl (E)-3-(2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)acrylate (CAS CATO-C4X-167122) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H18O3 and a molecular weight of 234.29 g/mol.

Structurally, tert-butyl (E)-3-(2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)acrylate (C14H18O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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 234.29 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).

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.
