Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-3-(thiophen-2-yl)propanoate (CAS 118460-42-7), molecular formula C9H10F2O3S and molecular weight 236.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-3-(thiophen-2-yl)propanoate (C9H10F2O3S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
