The occurrence of 3,3-Difluoro-2-oxopent-4-enoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3,3-Difluoro-2-oxopent-4-enoic acid (CAS 1535214-59-5), molecular formula C5H4F2O3 and molecular weight 150.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 3,3-Difluoro-2-oxopent-4-enoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 150.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
