Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4,6-dioxoheptanoate CAS 20754-03-4 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 4,6-dioxoheptanoate 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).

CATO supplies Ethyl 4,6-dioxoheptanoate (CAS 20754-03-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H14O4, MW 186.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
