Chemical Structure

2-Ethoxy-2-oxoacetic anhydride CAS 119174-42-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Ethoxy-2-oxoacetic anhydride.

CATO supplies 2-Ethoxy-2-oxoacetic anhydride (CAS 119174-42-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H10O7, MW 218.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Ethoxy-2-oxoacetic anhydride (C8H10O7) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
