Chemical Structure

3-Ethoxy-2-fluoro-3-oxopropanoic acid CAS 100701-49-3 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.

3-Ethoxy-2-fluoro-3-oxopropanoic acid (CAS 100701-49-3), molecular formula C5H7FO4 and molecular weight 150.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 3-Ethoxy-2-fluoro-3-oxopropanoic acid (C5H7FO4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Ethoxy-2-fluoro-3-oxopropanoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
