General Material Description



CAS 104-27-8: Registered without specifying if it’s (E) or (Z).
→ It can mean either a mixture of E and Z, or simply no defined configuration.
→ Often used commercially.

CAS 82297-64-1: Registered specifically for the pure (E)-isomer.
→ E-isomer = the phenyl group and the carbonyl group are on opposite sides of the double bond.
