Chemical Structure

Ethyl (3R,S)-2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-3-(2,2-dimethyldioxolan-4-yl)propionate CAS 166376-98-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl (3R,S)-2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-3-(2,2-dimethyldioxolan-4-yl)propionate 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.

Ethyl (3R,S)-2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-3-(2,2-dimethyldioxolan-4-yl)propionate (CAS 166376-98-3), molecular formula C10H16F2O5 and molecular weight 254.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H16F2O5, Ethyl (3R,S)-2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-3-(2,2-dimethyldioxolan-4-yl)propionate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 254.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
