Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including ethyl 2-[(6-formyl-2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)oxy]acetate.
ethyl 2-[(6-formyl-2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)oxy]acetate (CAS 13668-86-5), molecular formula C12H12O6 and molecular weight 252.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C12H12O6, ethyl 2-[(6-formyl-2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)oxy]acetate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 252.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
