Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-hydroxy-4,4,4-trichlorobutyrate CAS 19486-93-2 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 3-hydroxy-4,4,4-trichlorobutyrate (C6H9Cl3O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Ethyl 3-hydroxy-4,4,4-trichlorobutyrate (CAS 19486-93-2), molecular formula C6H9Cl3O3 and molecular weight 235.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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 3-hydroxy-4,4,4-trichlorobutyrate 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.
