Chemical Structure

Dimethyl 2-ethylidenemalonate CAS 17041-60-0 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 Dimethyl 2-ethylidenemalonate.

Dimethyl 2-ethylidenemalonate (CAS 17041-60-0), molecular formula C7H10O4 and molecular weight 158.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Dimethyl 2-ethylidenemalonate (C7H10O4) 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.

CATO manufactures Dimethyl 2-ethylidenemalonate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
