Chemical Structure

2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl chloroformate CAS 20160-60-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl chloroformate (CAS 20160-60-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H13ClO2Si and a molecular weight of 180.70 g/mol.

2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl chloroformate (C6H13ClO2Si) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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.

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.
