Chemical Structure

Diethyl 2-methyl-3-oxopentanedioate CAS 16631-18-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diethyl 2-methyl-3-oxopentanedioate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

Diethyl 2-methyl-3-oxopentanedioate (CAS 16631-18-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16O5 and a molecular weight of 216.23 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Diethyl 2-methyl-3-oxopentanedioate (C10H16O5) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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).

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.
