Chemical Structure

ethyl 5,5-dimethyl-4-oxooxolane-3-carboxylate CAS 1803608-60-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of ethyl 5,5-dimethyl-4-oxooxolane-3-carboxylate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies ethyl 5,5-dimethyl-4-oxooxolane-3-carboxylate (CAS 1803608-60-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H14O4, MW 186.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, ethyl 5,5-dimethyl-4-oxooxolane-3-carboxylate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.21 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), ethyl 5,5-dimethyl-4-oxooxolane-3-carboxylate 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.
