Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-ethyl-3-(methoxymethyl)oxirane-2-carboxylate CAS 1496331-19-1 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 Methyl 3-ethyl-3-(methoxymethyl)oxirane-2-carboxylate.

CATO supplies Methyl 3-ethyl-3-(methoxymethyl)oxirane-2-carboxylate (CAS 1496331-19-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H14O4, MW 174.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 3-ethyl-3-(methoxymethyl)oxirane-2-carboxylate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 174.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
