Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2,2-dihydroxy-4-ethoxy-3-oxobutanoate CAS 1000018-28-9 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2,2-dihydroxy-4-ethoxy-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 1000018-28-9), molecular formula C8H14O6 and molecular weight 206.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 2,2-dihydroxy-4-ethoxy-3-oxobutanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 206.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
