Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-propenyl-propanedioic acid diethyl ester.
CATO supplies 2-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-propenyl-propanedioic acid diethyl ester (CAS 159276-62-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H18F2O4, MW 312.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-propenyl-propanedioic acid diethyl ester (C16H18F2O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
