Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-Chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate CAS 10488-69-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 166.60 g/mol gives Ethyl 4-Chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 4-Chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (CAS 10488-69-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H11ClO3 and a molecular weight of 166.60 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C6H11ClO3, Ethyl 4-Chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 166.60 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 4-Chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate 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.
